I think I may have subscribed twice ( did the basic , 2x $50 charges on my card)
Still does not show any discount when I try to purchase tickets.
(so I guess contrary to what others have said, my subscription is not showing up instantly)
All discounts associated with LM+ are baked into the mileage you see. If you want to see what kind of discount you are getting, you need to create an account without LM+ to see the non-discounted mileage. I use my daughter's account to see the non-discounted price and use that information to get an idea of how much money I'm saving with LM+.
Generally, for most flights it is 10% on the dot. Recently, Avianca jacked up all the mileage rates for no reason to ridiculous mileage rates - what was 9k to get to Bogota jumped to 17k. I knew it was temporary as it always is, and sure enough the mileage came back down to 9k, but in that time it was 17k for the route I was interested in, the discount was 25% (LM+ bills itself as offering 10-25% discount). Well 25% off 17k is only 14k. I'd rather get 10% off 9k and pay less mileage than get 25% 17k.
