AV:哩程轉一送一(02/20/2013截止)


Avianca(AV)正在進行哩程轉一送一活動,不是轉哩程送兩位拉丁美女。
02/20/2013前,到活動網址轉哩程,受轉者帳號會得到100% bonus transfer miles。

買這個哩程是在LifeMiles官網上買的,所以如果你用機票/旅遊類別有額外獎勵的信用/簽帳卡去買的話,可以獲得額外哩程/點數/cash back。
根據LifeMiles哩程票兌換標準,美國到臺灣的星空聯盟單程經濟艙/商務艙/頭等艙哩程票需要32,500/62,500/75,000 miles。
你也可以用40%哩程加上60%現金($12.93/1,000 miles)來兌換。

可以換單程,沒有stopover,沒有燃油附加費,不能頭等艙/商務艙/經濟艙混搭。
電話改票的話需要懂西班牙文或是遇到英文流利的客服。
退票手續費$50

舉個例子:

今年暑假紐約到臺北單程商務艙
全部62,500 miles都以轉一送一的價格來算的的話,相當於$0.015X62,500+$41.01=$978.51


你也可以選擇25,500 miles加上現金$474.58,相當於總價$0.015X25+$515.59=$898.09。這樣比較划算。

最近暑假旺季這個時間紐約到臺北的來回經濟艙半價常常比這個價錢還要高,而且商務艙還可以免費托運3個70磅行李、使用機場貴賓室,與各項優惠。


最好AV網站可以立刻訂到你要的行程再來轉一送一,拿到哩程後立刻訂位開票。
Hilton HHonors點數可以10,000為單位轉成1,000 AV LifeMiles。這種轉法划不來。
如果你沒有在之前買一送一的時候儲備Lifemiles,那就不用考慮這個活動了。

    2. 請問N大,這樣看起來LifeMiles比US miles有價值不是嗎? 商務艙/頭等艙哩程票只需要62,500/75,000 miles 跟US的90,000/12,000 miles比起來差很多耶? 這樣是不是集LifeMiles會比集US Miles好呢? 不過US是有信用卡sign-up bonus 40,000 miles,我看LifeMiles的信用卡好像才給4,000 miles? 最近本來是有想要申請US的卡的....想聽聽您的意見,謝謝!

        LifeMiles會在沒有事先公告的狀況下自行調整哩程票兌換標準。就像我在文章裡提到的,除非AV網站上立刻查得到我需要的哩程票機位行程(沒有stopover、open-jaw)可以即時開票用掉哩程,不然我不會想累積AV哩程。
        我個人傾向於把信用紀錄的hard pull留給高價值的信用卡,LifeMiles信用卡的價值太低。

        想請教您關於credit limit的問題,有看到有人在討論Chase信用卡時說:

        "Whatever you do, don't forget to transfer over your credit limit from a card you're about to close to a card that you'll keep open (or to a new card you're trying to get approved for). You don't want to lose some of your credit limit, especially as it can be used to help get you approved for new cards."

        可是我也常聽人家說銀行會給每個人max credit line 不能超過,所以如果已經到了max 又想申請新卡就只能轉一些credit amount到新卡,我想既然如此,為甚麼不是先close a card之後再申請新卡? 這樣新卡不是就會比較容易拿到,因為你已經拿掉一部分的credit所以不會reach maximum了嗎? 為甚麼那個人說要先轉到另一張既有的卡或是申請新卡後再轉,然後再關掉想關的那張卡? 謝謝!

        Hillary這麼說有兩個原因。
        1. 當銀行給妳的現有信用額度越大,妳的每月消費佔信用額度就越小。這樣有助於獲得更好的信用分數利於日後申請其他信用卡。
        2. 銀行給妳的現有信用額度是根據之前的信用紀錄與妳在該銀行的消費紀錄而定。所以有可能現在發卡銀行給妳的所有信用卡新總額度不如之前給的。在這個狀況下, 銀行可能比較願意從既有比較大的信用額度中撥一部份給新卡,而不是增加新信用額度。那麼妳在取消舊卡前把信用額度轉出去保留在別張卡,就可以拿來在申請新卡時當作協商籌碼。
