TAP Miles&Go
Star AllianceHUBSLIS · OPOLast reviewed Jun 2026
TAP Miles&Go is the loyalty program of TAP Air Portugal, the LIS-based Star Alliance member (since 2005) and Portugal's flag carrier. The fleet runs around 100 aircraft - A330neo, A321LR/neo with East Coast US lie-flat, A320 - and the airline's privatization process is active 2025-2026. The standout product feature is the A321LR US East Coast lie-flat narrowbody from Boston, Newark, Miami, and others, plus the Portugal Stopover that gives a complimentary Lisbon stopover on TAP itineraries.
For US travelers, TAP Miles&Go is one of the more accessible Star Alliance programs. Capital One transfers 1:1 near-instant. Bilt also transfers 1:1 near-instant - one of Bilt's Star Alliance partners. Marriott Bonvoy is 3:1 with the 5,000-mile bonus at 60K. Amex, Chase, Citi, and Wells Fargo do not transfer to it. TAP own-metal moved to dynamic pricing in 2024-25, gutting some historical sweet spots, but Star Alliance partner awards remain on a region-based fixed chart - and that is where the value lives. US East Coast-LIS business runs around 63,000 miles one-way (verify post-dynamic-pricing shift), and Star Alliance partner business class on routes like ANA intra-Asia or US West Coast-Europe can produce sharp pricing.
