Interesting that they went with a major US blog this time, whereas previously it was a Brazilian blogger - maybe strong USD helps
Even more interesting:

On top of the additional bonus on purchased miles, there’s also going to be a special promotion for OMAAT readers redeeming miles (including for travel in first & business class), which I’ll be sharing the details of shortly. So I’d recommend registering at this link even if you’re not 100% sure if you’ll want to buy miles yet, just so you have the option and your account is activated for the bonus.

Goodbye, LM!

I tried to register but it would not let me enter my LM number - seems to be an issue with the site/page. Posted a comment on the feedback section. Will try again later.

Seems the issue is with Flash on my MacBook - I have it disabled but I believe I need an updated version as even when I re-enable it the OMAAT page still won't let me enter any info.

I was able to register a few minutes ago, curious to see what the redemption promotion will be.

Promo looks good from East Coast, but the fact that LH F is blocked makes the promo pretty useless...

So did I. But when I click through on the buy miles page it only adds 30%!

It's rather academic for me really as I won't be buying. (I was just curious to see if the OMAAT bonus would show - it doesn't, presumably will be added later).

I originally received a 130% offer. I then signed up for the 15% OMAAT bonus offer.

At the lifemiles website, I expected to see 145% bonus on a purchase of 150K miles, but saw only 140%. Not sure what to make of it.

I'm trying to book SIN-NRT on NH in J, then NRT-JFK in F with LM. If I search separately, all the segments come up but nothing if I search SIN-JFK.
What should I do now

There is nothing you can do as they will not to screenshot bookings for mixed classes, See if you can get SIN to NRT in F and that will solve your problem

I got 140%. (In Total) Not thoroughly convinced at that rate - wasn't it offered to us before some time ago?

However, still having 300k+ LM pending in my account and no LH F (with UA showing availability), it doesn't look worth it.

Another way of looking at it (long shot), and considering the possible sale/bankruptcy, would it be possible that UA pick up Aviana (as well as LM) then integrate it into MP?

Could there be a possibility that our LM miles might become UA miles?

I registered at OMAAT over 24 hours ago, but when I click through on the buy miles page it only adds 30%. Just re-registered, try again tomorrow I guess.
