It didn't. Notwitshtanding, I am still holding out for it
Yes it was. I would presume it was not targeted at people that had already bought for 2x1 during the same promo

Friend signed up today and bought 50k miles hoping to get the bonus and without realising the need to be member since 5 May 2014. Can he reverse the trade by calling Lifemiles?
Interestingly even the 50k miles have not yet been credited to his account. How long does it take for the miles to be credited? I thought it was instant, and wonder if something was wrong with the payment for his miles not to be credited

Choking on my own words here. I had to take my $350 e-cert to the local Avianca office to buy the miles with it, and I ended up buying 20,000 (x2=40,000) at a cost to me of $250. Flying through BOG must be like having a baby. The joy of the reward makes the memory forget the pain.

I have also said that connecting at BOG is just not worth the trouble until they finish the reconstruction. Those buses on every connection, plus often another to the pod gate is a royal pain in the rear.
This is especially true when I can usually get a ticket through PTY on Copa. That's a super easy connection, and the overall travel time is shorter, with more schedule flexibility if planned in advance.
I just posted in the Venezuela/Maduro AV thread a more detailed explanation of my change of heart. We need AV to survive, and it's hard times for them right now.
Plus, at 2x1, it's CHEEEEAAAAP!!!
My e-cert was compensation for some pretty egregious wrongdoing by an agent at BOG last year, and I had to take it to Fabio Villegas to get it resolved. That may be why I was able to cash it in for the 2x1, but the agent didn't seem a bit surprised by it, so I get the idea that people do it often. I would take whatever I had to an office rather than call them, as the live agents are far more familiar with what can and cannot be done with these things. (I just learned this.)

Is there a limit to how many batches you can buy? I bought 2 small batches a couple days ago, 6 and 12,000 + the promo and I want to buy more miles today but it's not showing the 100% bonus before the payment page as it usually does.
EDIT: Ok I think I found my answer: Maximum number of transactions: 1 transaction
Weird though as I did it successfully twice.Thankfully I can buy from my wife's account, whew!
