Has anybody noticed this?! I received an email today asking just where I had read that bonus miles could be transferred to HHonors or any of the LatinPass member airline frequent flyer programs, such as Taca's Distancia or Avianca's Mileage Plus. It's answered in question 14, I replied, taken from the FAQ stored on my hard drive:
14- Presently, where can I transfer LatinPass miles including the bonus miles from this promotion?
You can transfer your miles to any of the LatinPass Member Airlines and to Hilton HHonors accounts only, once you have established an account with the “receiving” Member Airline or Hilton.
Well, guess what, the current website FAQ is now only 15 questions long, not 16, with the above question deleted.
As anyone who read my May 5 trip report knows, I had a very positive experience with the LatinPass carriers and my trip to Latin America in general. But maybe this bonus promomotion is going to end up being too good to be true. I hope that the hordes of flyertalkers (myself included) and others who are continuing to take advantage of this promotion don't end up killing the program.
I anticipate further restrictions on the use of these bonus miles after July 1, just wait.
