buying miles?

Is it worth buying miles from miles & more ?

it's like 2.5ct/mile , which i guess is good price?

do they count towards my status, so for example if i lack 10 000 miles to get better status at Lufthansa, can i just buy miles from miles & more and i will be automatically upgraded ?

Buying miles does not count towards your status and is pretty overpriced... YMMV

Buying miles is really only beneficial if you're short a few thousand toward an award flight and you need to book quickly. If you have 95000 miles, but need a 100000 to book a RT business class international award ticket, then it's worth the premium to buy the miles outright.
