Because I’m a hoarder of miles, I don’t ever “need” to buy them. Situations are all different, though, so some of these promos can be decent ways to afford an award. The current offers are ranked below (from best to worst):
- Avianca Lifemiles – 100% transfer bonus. Very good miles at a decent price.
- US Airways – 25-100% buying bonus. If your targeted offer is for 100%, it’s absolutely worth considering.
- Alaska Airlines – 40% buying bonus. Not terrible.
- Virgin America – 60% buying bonus. A little too expensive.
- JetBlue – 50% buying bonus. Meh.
- American Airlines – 30% sharing bonus. Double meh.
