Share this post

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 5 offers that end soon.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are 5 offers that end soon.

Up first, Avianca Airlines is offering up to a 165% bonus, depending on the number of Avianca Airlines LifeMiles you purchase.   This offer expires today – March 26.
