I am getting the same error message. I am afraid it seems like a scam? Customer service has not helped, telling me to check again every 2 hrs. I checked the internet and seems like Lifemiles has a bad reputation. I should have known better, but Lifemiles is a transfer partner of major banks and is even in travel points website like Roame.com. so I did not think I would encounter this. Were they able to resolve your issue?
No not a scam. Perhaps you should have check the Internet before tranferring points to LifeMiles. Availability, percieved or otherwise, is no indication the itinerary can be booked via miles. Now you have miles in your LifeMiles and account and can start searching. If one itinerary doesn't work, search for another.
