Redeeming Lifemiles at Amazon.com

10/24/2020

Since COVID-19 has disrupted travel in general various airlines have modified their mileage program's to either provide more value and flexibility while cutting down on alternative redemption values to preserve cash. Lifemiles though has added an alternative redemption option while Avianca Airlines re-structures its operation from reeling losses.

Lifemiles is famous for selling their points at great discount with recently ended sale of Lifemiles for just 1.1 cent/mile. Though Lifemiles has added an option to redeem the points for Amazon.com purchases although at not that great value of 0.555 cent/mile. But given the current situation if you are flush in Lifemile points with no mid term plans to use it, this might present a decent option to cash out.

The way to redeem your Lifemiles at Amazon.com at 0.555 cent/point value
  • The first step is to download the chrome extension which can be found here.
  • Once, you have the extension installed, it will ask for your Lifemiles login details so to enable the payment with your miles. 
  • You can add the items in your cart as you usually do and select one of the existing payment options in the checkout page. On the final page of purchase, Lifemiles will present an option to pay with points with the exact amount of points to be deducted from your account.

Do note that as of now Lifemiles does not allow purchase of gift card sold on Amazon.com. Also any purchase where the $dollar amount exceeds equivalent available Lifemiles is not allowed. 

One downside of using the extension is that the extension pop up messages are in Spanish and you would need a translator if you do not know Spanish. But other than that it is a smooth operation of purchase using Lifemiles points. So, do keep in mind this option if you want to get rid of your available Lifemiles balance at 0.555 cents/point value..

Maximize Amex Referral Offer

American Express Membership Rewards is one of the great flexible points currency which can be used by transferring to variety of Airlines / Hotels program and in the current COVID-19 situation you can even use it for gift cards redemption such as Home Depot or Best Buy. 

American Express Referral Offer is one of the best way to earn some valuable Membership Rewards points quickly. While American Express limits annual referral credits to $550 or ​55,000 Membership Rewards points or other co-branded points currency, it has variable offer per referral based on the type of card you have. One of the best offer's for Membership Rewards Points earning is on either of their Amex Platinum or Business Platinum Card or Amex Gold Card.

To top it currently till 10/28/2020 American Express has special offer for referrer where they can earn additional 3x points for next 3 months of their spend after the referred friend is approved. This is in addition to the fixed bonus points offer available for referral. For e.g. currently my Amex Gold Card would earn additional 3x points on all purchases for 3 months in addition to fixed bonus points of 25,000 Membership Rewards points after I have successful referral.  The best part is the referred friend usually also sees better credit card earning offer as well compared to otherwise available public offers and thus a win-win for both!!

My current offer of 25k MR points + 3x additional bonus points offer for referral!!
One of the great things about Amex Referral Offer is that the referred friend can open any other card from Amex portfolio and is not limited to the card which referrer refers him to. The referred friend just needs to "click on the referral link --> View all cards with referral offer --> All personal cards " and select the card for which he/she needs to apply. Also some of these credit cards now have "6 months to meet the minimum spend offer"

In addition Amex Cards comes with great Amex Offers program some of which we have covered here and here.  So, check your American Express cards and if you know of friend who is looking for a new credit card than now would be the best time to refer!!
