2x1 is back!, But now with more miles!

The 125% bonus per mile bought was an improvement, but I wasn't moved to jump on it and will wait for a 150-200% bonus.
Between the mileage price hikes, the routing restrictions and the poor award space availability situations which I face, I'm better off pursuing other options. At 3x for the price of 1 mile, I'd probably be back in.

Have people been able to successfully book ANA F flights using Lifemiles? All this talk about the website suddenly crashing on final checkout is a major concern since I've never booked any trips on LM so far, Thx!

Off topic: I don't recommend booking so close to departure if arriving in the USA, my Global Entry messed up and I had to deal with a rather rude, pugnacious CBP agent who basically attempted to provoke me into saying something stupid , and got even more annoyed when I didn't fall for his BS .

Yes. That is the only thing of value I have been able to book with Lifemiles these days.

email came in....Extended the promotion Buy Miles 2x1 until June 3rd. That´s five more days to receive more LifeMiles! So it seems people are not buying as much as expected?

Like me, the vast majority will be buying nothing. With the remaining tricks, I use my existing miles as positioning flights or inter continent connecting flights for future RTW or OJ trips.
