You still had to purchase the original miles... so this offer is giving new miles at 1.5c each. The same as topping up with points + pay.

Unless you have a specific reason to transfer orphan miles out of an account I can't see much advantage of this offer?

Unless you already have the miles in your account and you can bounce them between accounts.

I'm new to LM. When this kind of deal appears, is it OK per flyertalk rules to ask people if they want to do a back-and-forth transfer to take advantage of the offer? If it is, and someone is interested, PM me. If it's against the FT rules, please delete this post. Thanks.

Certainly husbands and wives have done this (well to my knowledge at least one husband and wife - when I was still married that was)

I did it a few times with some FT-ers for US miles back in 2013. It worked out well. I think we discussed it in the US forum and not the private one.

In 3 months, that's how it has been before, so be patient.

Isn't 1.5 cents basically the same price as using the "More Money, More miles" feature at checkout when redeeming an award?
