re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A

Sorry, I have been on the road for a while and may have missed something ~ is this upcoming increase documented somewhere?

With thanks,

tb

Here ya go...from an email I received on 28 May.

Seems LM have been doing some housekeeping...one of the long standing and exploited tricks...that wee place out in the Pacific a few of us have been or are going to has been rezoned...at last. There will be much consternation over on FT! Looks like it's now in an Asian zone.

So far there just seems to be quiet acceptance. Hopefully they don't start the blame game again.

I never took advantage of that miscoding, but can understand the disappointment in those who have.

We talking gummy, if so that sucks, even though I never used it, always nice to have as an option...

I noticed Gummy ('candy'?) rezoned about 6 weeks ago when doing some homework for my next Japan trip. Was just a matter of time.

Death, taxes and enhancements...

It was only rezoned within the last 24 hours.

Thanks bcworld. I missed that but looking back through my emails I also received it ~ guess I just read the header regarding 3 days left for the promo. Hopefully there will be another 2x1 promo prior to October...

Cheers,

How strictly is the 150 TF miles per year enforced? I received 60K TF miles earlier this year. ..would love to have another 150K TF to my account, but if it's enforced, can only TF 90K in

I think the website has been known to get confused about the total! You should be able to see before committing what the max amount you can get is.

KPC it seems automatically enforced, but is easy to see exactly how much you can still get without gambling on overpaying.
When you log on and fill in the transfer form you can choose how many points to transfer and it will show you how many bonus points will be given without you having to complete the transaction.

I've already TF'ed the maximum this year from a previous deal with MrGlider so when I try to fill out the form with his acct details it shows me that I can make the transfer if I want but no bonus points will be awarded.

I made an interesting booking tonight. Whilst I can't identify the origin, I have managed an 11 hour 25 minute transit in IST. I forced TK for the carrier, with the destination KUL. Arriving 1320 leaving IST 0055 the next day.

So I guess the 8 hour rule is not hard and fast.

It's not 150K received; it's 150K sent. So you should be fine!

if seen a few, mainly UA connections, up around the 12 hour mark, so the 8 is definitely not fixed.

Nice find JT. Bugger all the C1/C2 stuff, try an O2 hit!

The acronyms make me sad. What does O2 mean? At least the Cs are listed on FT.

Just my way of trying to keep it under wraps but with a very subtle hint.

Afraid this was lost on me. I'm dumb as a box of hammers.
