Flying Blue Buy Miles: Up to 45% Off or 80% Bonus — Ends May 31

Buying miles is rarely the move, but two times a year it actually pencils out — and this is one of them. If your Flying Blue balance is sitting just below a transatlantic business award or a Promo Rewards sweet spot you've been eyeing, the math works at the 24,000-mile tier (45% off). At smaller volumes, you're paying for the convenience, not the deal.

What qualifies:

• Discount tiers:
  • 2,000 miles = no discount
  • 4,000–10,000 miles = 35% off
  • 12,000–22,000 miles = 40% off
  • 24,000 miles = 45% off
• Purchase window: May 11–31, 2026, 11:59 PM CET
• Elite member cap: 300,000 miles total (sold in 25,000-mile units above 100,000)
• Explorer member cap: 100,000 miles per calendar year (includes any miles received as gifts)
• Purchase units: 2,000-mile increments up to 100,000 miles
• Posting timeline: within 72 hours of purchase
• Payment routing: sold by Points.com
• Withdrawal right: 14 days, per Flying Blue's Buy and Gift Miles T&Cs

The math works best when you're topping off for a known redemption. Transatlantic business class on Air France or KLM metal regularly prices in the 60,000–80,000 mile range at the saver level, and monthly Promo Rewards can drop economy to Europe as low as 18,750 miles each way. Buying 24,000 miles speculatively just because the discount looks good is a different decision — Flying Blue's dynamic pricing means award availability and pricing shift constantly, and miles you don't use for a booked redemption can sit idle. This sale pencils out cleanest against a premium-cabin booking where you're stretching a balance to get there.

Prefer to top off with points instead? Chase UR is running a 20% transfer bonus to Flying Blue through May 27, 2026 — worth checking before you buy.
