Our Verdict
Personally I never think speculatively purchasing miles is a good idea, even more so with the current uncertainty going on. This is cheaper than the previous 1.2¢ deal they offered.
The “20% off partner redemptions” is 15-20% off a very select number of routes to/from Asia and primarily in business and first which are not a good value in Lifemiles.
The J/F redemptions to Asia are decent if you combine the 20% off sale and the 200% bonus on purchasing the miles.
The bigger issue is no one can go to Asia right now…
Personally I’m considering this to get round trip business class on Lufthansa next summer IAD-FCO.
If there is availability I would suggest picking Swiss (and I am German). Better hard product than LH and service and meal quality are very comparable between those two.
