But it goes without saying that buying miles should always be the last resort. Not only will loyalty programs devalue their miles at the drop of a hat (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/airlines\/turkish-hawaii-award-chart-change\/\" rel=\"noopener\">which Turkish Airlines just did<\/a>)\u00a0but they typically sell them at a higher price than you can get any worthwhile value from. Unless there is a bonus or discount available, you'd be better off holding onto your money and building your balance through other (cheaper) ways.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, there are two different scenarios when <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/current-promotions-buy-points-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">buying points and miles<\/a> can make sense. Let's say you're right on the cusp of having enough miles for a really good redemption &#8212; buying the remaining miles can be easy and cheap if the promotional value is solid. Moreover, if you're dead set on a sweet first or business cabin seat, grabbing the difference in miles for the award redemption will most likely be cheaper than paying the cash rate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_235779\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-235779 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Turkish-Airlines-787-Featured.png\" alt=\"Turkish Airlines 787-9 at DTW.\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Turkish-Airlines-787-Featured.png 1000w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Turkish-Airlines-787-Featured-750x600.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Turkish-Airlines-787-Featured-900x720.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Turkish-Airlines-787-Featured-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Turkish-Airlines-787-Featured-325x260.png 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Tyler Glatt \/ AwardWallet<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/travel\/buy-miles-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy Points and Miles the Smart Way: How to Leverage Promotions to Score Incredible Deals on Travel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Buying_Miles_Smiles_Miles_With_up_to_a_100_Bonus\">Buying Miles & Smiles Miles With up to a 100% Bonus<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-int\/miles-and-smiles\/campaigns\/start-the-new-year-with-exclusive-benefits-and-earn-up-to-100-percent-extra-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">This promotional 100% bonus offer<\/a> is available for mileage purchases until<strong> December 22, 2025.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The minimum purchase amount is 1,000 miles.<\/li>\n<li>Purchase a minimum of 10,000 miles to receive any bonus (25%).<\/li>\n<li>Purchase at least 100,001 miles to receive the maximum bonus (100%).<\/li>\n<li>Maximum purchase is 250,000 miles total in a signal transaction and in a calendar year.<\/li>\n<li>Bonus miles will not show up on the check-out screen, instead becoming available up to seven days after the purchase date.<\/li>\n<li>Not valid on Gift Miles.<\/li>\n<li>The full terms and conditions are available <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.turkishairlines.com\/en-tr\/miles-and-smiles\/program-content\/purchasing-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_238794\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/342\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-238794 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-12.42.58-scaled.png\" alt=\"Buy Turkish Airlines miles with 100% bonus promotion\" width=\"750\" height=\"342\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-12.42.58-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-12.42.58-750x342.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-12.42.58-900x410.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-12.42.58-768x350.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-12.42.58-1536x700.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-08-at-12.42.58-2048x933.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Turkish Airlines<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>All members eligible for this offer will get a bonus on the base rate, with the cost depending on how many miles you buy.
