Recently found a reason to travel to Bogota so I'm trying to find the best signup bonuses and long term bonuses, primarily interested in the signup bonus for now.


I'm trying to get my first round trip completely covered (minus fees) with just bonus miles. A close friend used the Taca sign-up bonus to get 30k LifeMiles with a 45$/year fee. We had found some flights going for 13k miles if we looked hard enough. Unfortunately there are no Taca card deals anymore that I'm aware of.

Thank you

p.s. Looking to travel in the end of december... I'm new to this so if the registration could potentially take months I could also use that info.
