Our Verdict
Always a good idea to burn LifeMiles, even more so when there is a sale like this.
Hat tip to FM
There’s no point in buying miles from Lifemiles since the online booking does not work and the call in center cannot help you book either. The “Continue to Redemption” button is as far as I can get, and then it breaks down.
The online redemption hasn’t been working for the past few days on lifemiles. Once you select your flights and pick travellers, “continue to redemption” button simply does not work.
I bought an award flight just this morning. Not to Central or South America though
What route did you buy. There’s multiple reports on flyertalk also of online redemption not working. I wasn’t trying central/south America either, rather US to Europe on Lufthansa.
BUYER BEWARE: I WOULD NEVER BUY LIFEMILES. In April, I tried to buy a ticket with Lifemiles to Italy and they said the transaction did not go through on multiple different cards. Finally, one card (citibank) worked but the next day the transaction was canceled as being suspicious and they locked me out of my account for a week until I contacted them multiple times and had to send a copy of my passport and the card several times. Then they contacted me about the 4 attempted transactions and the one “successful” citibank transaction. I again sent in my data but was not hopeful as the airline ticket did not show anymore (a friend who works for that airline saw there was still a ticketed reservation in my name). Finally, they stated that my ticket was cancelled and I was free to try again now that there are no flights available. I also tried to buy a Lifemiles ticket in March from Cartagena to Bogota and had the same results except in March I never was able to secure a reservation. They should be called MADOFF Miles.
