No. People get confused about this every single promo! They quote a cost which includes the maximum taxes payable in particular countries. The USD17.70 quoted is nothing new. The vast majority of the world continues to pay USD15 just like before.

Anyone know the answer to this?
How many times can you share between accounts?

Actually, I have same question.
Is it allowed A account share 75k for B and C accounts respectively?
Ex. A share 75k to B, and B got 75k+75k
A share 75k to C, and C got 75k+75k

Thanks for your reply.
From T&C's:
Maximum transfer miles per member per year: LM 150.000. (Includes promotional transfer miles bonuses).

I still confused about that, is "Includes promotional transfer miles bonuses" meaning receive member or deliver member? Because delivery member will not get bonuses when transfer miles, so A account can share 75k and 75k to B and C accounts receptively, right?

Why so difficult, one always can buy nearly unlimited miles for 15 $ and 8 Cent per 1000 miles. But one needs @ least 60 % from what one wants to buy in account ( you have 600k you can buy 900k for 13.575 US $
But of course if you only have 60k in account, you only can buy 90k and then them cost 15,83 $ per 1k

Can you just create a dummy account now to receive the transfer and transfer out? or do accounts need to be open for a period of time in order to qualify for this offer?

Yes, you can sign up someone new and the transfers will still work immediately.

I need 166k miles (I know max transfer won't cover this). I'm thinking my bank would have a meltdown over the number of transactions .

Star Alliance Award Spaces not shown on LM.com

I am relatively new to Lifemiles. Their website is certainly not the easiest to use.

I am looking for an award ticket from South East Asia back to Chicago in late July. UA.com shows plenty availability on different routes, but it is all "sold out" on LM.com.

Really weird.

LM doesn't show long layovers/overnights most of the time. That might be the problem.
