Avianca LifeMiles
To the point For a limited time, Avianca LifeMiles is offering a great bonus when you buy miles to save on your next flight.

From June 9 to 14, 2025, you can earn up to 155% in bonus when you purchase Avianca LifeMiles.

This is a recurring offer: up to 160% bonus was also offered in May 2025.

Avianca LifeMiles - Bonus on the Purchase of Miles

The annual purchase limit is 500,000 miles (before bonus) per account per calendar year. The maximum is 200,000 miles per transaction.

For example, a purchase of 40,000 miles will cost you US$1,320. You’ll get 98 000 bonus miles (145% x 40,000), for a total of 138,000 miles!

However, the 155% bonus is applied gradually according to purchase levels:

Number of miles purchased Bonus
1 00020 000 135 %
21 00050 000 145 %
51 000200 000 155 %

The points purchase transaction is in U.S. dollars. For Canadian residents, sales tax (and QST for residents of Quebec) must be added.

The purchase is made via Points.com, a site external to Avianca. As a result, this transaction is not recognized as a travel expense by card issuers.

Is It Worth Buying Avianca LifeMiles?

The answer to this question depends on your travel plans. However, we never recommend buying miles speculatively: you need to have a clear goal in mind, and make sure the flight is available before you buy.

LifeMiles are useful for booking flights not only on Avianca, but also on all Star Alliance partners. In particular, if you’re looking for seats in business or first class, it’s worth turning to Avianca LifeMiles to book these award tickets.

To find out if buying miles is right for you, compare the costs. If the price of the miles purchased is lower than that of the cash ticket, it’s a good deal!

In Canada, it is not possible to transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to the Avianca LifeMiles program. Therefore, the only options for obtaining these miles are:

Bottom Line

Purchasing Avianca LifeMiles can be advantageous if you have a specific travel objective or wish to top up your balance for an award ticket. In Canada, the only other way to earn LifeMiles is by transferring Marriott Bonvoy points.
