You can only get free cancellation either 48 hours in advance or departure OR 24 hours after original departure (after you no-show). A call is required. The $25 booking fee is retained by Avianca.

I asked the agent 3 times if I had it correct, that I will need to no-show the flight on the partner carrier (UA) then call 24 hours after departure. Makes me extremely nervous, but that's Avianca for you! I'm going to call and ask a different agent, but that seems extremely wild.

On a different note, my 10% rebate has been posting reliably. I also had Lite plan for one month, upgraded to Basic for the second month, which became effective on the next calendar day, when I was billed the new annual fee. My 6-month counter reset to 1.

Does this mean I can cancel if it's MORE than 48 hours before departure or WITHIN 48 hours of departure?

Is anyone with LM+ seeing a new pricing model which reflects 10% fewer miles on partner redemptions? Looking at LOT options to Europe and seeing a 10% reduction with my LM+ membership.

New for me as I have been member for 4 months and this is first I have seen. I have only received 10% points rebate with prior partner bookings. Now, LM is showing 10% lower on redemption.

Question - For anyone that got the Elite credit card, does your account automatically upgrade to Lifemiles+ or do you actually have to register for Lifemiles+ Lite online?

Automatic

I am not seeing mixed cabin pricing as a LM+ member. Mixed cabin awards are now cheaper without a LM+ subscription.

Just an update: I let it go for three full weeks, and it has finally been canceled. I was worried that my account had been suspended or something else, but the email simply stated that I can come back to subscribe to LM+ anytime. Voila!

So could one subscribe, make a Star Alliance booking 1 year out, get 10% off, remove payment method within a month, trigger auto cancellation, join 11 months later and get free cancellation on that ticket?
