If you wanted to use an award ticket but you have substantial mileage in your account, However you wanted to accrue BIS lifetime mileage. Is there a way of partially paying a small amount under this program and utilize the mileage for the majority? I read the wiki back I’m not catching it..
I find it is not always offered and mileage portion can not be 100% but can be a significant amount
The mileage is credited at 1 cpm. You can select the amount you want as miles.
You earn 100% lifetime but prorated PQPs
Only nonrefundable
Because of the prorated PQPs, if a Chase MP card holder, consider Choice Points statement credit which is also 1 cpm but 100% PQPs. And you can statement credit 100% of the ticket. Can be a refundable ticket and the statement credit remains on refund.
1 cpm is not great at all but it is using miles that earn status / RDMs and lifetime credit.
Either option is upgradeable and SDC eligible
