Milespay launched for CC accounts in Germany

The conversion rate is terrible, by YMMV:

Redeem miles everywhere – with MilesPay and your Miles & More Credit Card

Miles & More Credit Card holders can redeem award miles wherever Mastercard is accepted

Europe’s leading frequent flyer and awards programme and the technology company Mastercard are expanding their cooperation to include a special joint service: With MilesPay, holders of German Miles & More Credit Cards can now redeem award miles for their purchases wherever Mastercard payments are possible. This means, at more than 70 million acceptance points worldwide, in online shops and in stationary retail. With this, Miles & More not only offers significant added value for the entire German Miles & More Credit Card portfolio. By allowing almost unlimited miles to be redeemed in everyday life via the new feature, MilesPay increases the attractiveness of the entire Miles & More programme. The feature, created by Miles & More, is based on technology by Mastercard.

“With MilesPay, we now offer even more opportunities to redeem award miles outside of aviation,” says Sebastian Riedle, Managing Director at Miles & More GmbH. “From going out to a restaurant with friends, to shopping in your favourite boutique, to buying a ticket to a long-awaited concert: we support our members in fulfilling their small wishes or even reaching distant goals.”

Two clicks away from the award of your choice

In order to use MilesPay, Miles & More members register their credit card once in the Miles & More app. Before making the desired award purchase, they select an individual maximum mileage value to be credited against the payment amount in the following credit card transaction. After that, they simply pay by credit card as usual and flexibly redeem their award miles for the product – either in full or in part. This can be decided anew and individually before each payment transaction. At the end of the process, the customer is informed in real time about the miles redeemed.

The new feature is initially available to about 600,000 credit card holders in Germany. Further information on the MilesPay programme feature is available at https://www.miles-and-more.com/de/en.../milespay.html

Someone at VFT initially figured out a way to redeem 48 miles for 15 cents on Amazon to get the 500+500 mile signup bonus. But then someone read the fine print and figured out the min spend for the bonus is 10€, so that house of cards collapsed quickly.
