Taca Miles Purchase deal
(as a LatinPass 2000 mileage runner, I fondly remember my Taca flights)
There is currently a great opportunity for low-cost mileage awards with
United Airlines, Iberia, and Taca.
This deal is HOT!

For the rest of September 2007 Taca Distancia is selling their airline miles at 50% regular cost for the incredibly low price of 1.25 cents/mile.
As a significant cost-savings kind of deal, particularly for business class travel, I know that posting it here on Flyertalk.com may shut it down, but our community has always been the place to let members and viewers get a jump on the best deals. This is what makes Flyertalk.com the top travel community on the Web. Grab this one quick before it becomes another LatinPass offer. (The LatinPass Million Mile frequent flyer promotion from 2000 was shut down in March 2000 to new registrants, midway through the promotional offer due to overexposure of the great value at low cost. Even though the original promotion allowed registering for the offer through June 2000, new registration ended in March 2000. The point being you should act quickly on this if it looks like a good deal for you because the promotion may end early if it becomes too popular. Taca was a member airline participating in LatinPass.)
“Taca Airlines is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Taca Distancia.
Imagine all that you can do with more miles. . .

While I put most of my effort these days in educating travelers about the major hotel loyalty programs and finding great deals for hotel frequent guests, now and again, there is a terrific airline deal to share. I hope some Flyertalkers will be able to save a great deal of money if you are ready to take advantage of this opportunity with the Taca Distancia frequent flyer program.
Good luck from satori, the loyaltytraveler
