For most miles and points currencies, you're better off building your stash through credit card earnings and transfer partners.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of exceptions, though. When you can <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/current-promotions-buy-points-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">buy miles with a bonus or discount<\/a>, it can make sense if you can book a lucrative award redemption instead of paying the expensive cash price for a ticket. Moreover, if you only need a few more miles to complete your next great redemption, purchasing miles can be the quickest, simplest way. Just make sure you do the math ahead of time to ensure you get more value than you're spending.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"When_Does_Buying_AviancaLifeMiles_Make_Sense\">When Does Buying Avianca\u00a0LifeMiles Make Sense?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to a reasonable award chart (despite a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/avianca-lifemiles\/award-devaluation-2024\/\" rel=\"noopener\">late 2024 devaluation<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/avianca-lifemiles\/us-award-devaluation-2025\/\" rel=\"noopener\">another devaluation in February 2025<\/a>), minimal booking fees, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/avoid-surcharges-award-flights\/\" rel=\"noopener\">no fuel surcharges<\/a>, LifeMiles has been among our favorite airline currencies for premium-class redemptions across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>As the currency of Avianca &#8212; Colombia's flagship carrier &#8212; LifeMiles can be used for award bookings on any of the airline's Star Alliance and non-alliance partners.
