Earning Lufthansa Miles

As you can see, there are some pretty incredible bargains when it comes to these flights. Unfortunately, earning Lufthansa miles can be difficult as Miles & More is not partnered with any transferable point currency.

However, if you’re interested in taking advantage of these monthly promotions, you may want to consider signing up for the co-branded Lufthansa credit card. Issued by Barclays, the Miles & More® World Elite Mastercard® currently features a 60,000-point welcome bonus offer after meeting the minimum spend. That’s more than enough for a round-trip business class flight with this promotion.

Final Thoughts

There’s no doubt that Lufthansa’s monthly Mileage Bargains are a great deal. At 55,000 miles round-trip for a transatlantic flight in business class, you won’t find a lower rate anywhere.

However, earning Lufthansa miles isn’t as simple as transferring your points. Instead, you’ll want to grab the Lufthansa credit card or take advantage of other methods to help build your balance.

“grab the Lufthansa credit card or take advantage of other methods to help build your balance.“ – Aside from the credit card and taking revenue flights, what are some of the other methods to acquire points?

How do you get this promotion? I see it active now, for December, saying “Travel period: 15.03.2023 – 30.04.2023”, but when I try to book the flight between listed cities, I always get offers for 112,000; never 55,000. How do you find this??

Hi John,

If the city pair you are viewing is listed on the promotion page, then it is likely an IT error that is causing it to not price properly. Have you contacted Lufthansa directly to see what the issue is?
