From July 15 to 24, 2026, you can get up to130% bonus when you buy Avianca LifeMiles miles.
The annual purchase cap is 500,000 miles (before the bonus) per account per calendar year. The maximum is 200,000 miles per transaction.
For example, for a purchase of 40,000 miles, it will cost you US$1,320. You will get 48,000 bonus miles (120% x 40,000), for a total of 88,000 miles!

LifeMiles are useful for booking flights not only on Avianca, but also on all Star Alliance partners. More specifically, if you’re looking for business class or First Class seats, it can be worth turning to Avianca LifeMiles to book these award tickets.
To see whether buying miles is a good deal for you, compare the costs. If the price of the miles you buy is lower than the cash ticket, it’s a good deal!
In Canada, it’s not possible to transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to the Avianca LifeMiles program. So the only options to get these miles are:
Buying Avianca LifeMiles miles can be worthwhile if you have a specific travel goal or want to top up your balance to get an award ticket. Especially since in Canada, the only other way to earn LifeMiles is to transfer Marriott Bonvoy points.
