Conclus?o

Eu nunca comprei milhas nessas “milhares” de promo??es que frequentemente tanto o LifeMiles (Avianca) quanto o Dividend Miles (US Airways) fazem, praticamente todo m?s.

As milhas eu obtenho quase sempre pelas vias normais de compras nos cart?es de cr?dito e d?bito, ou voos pagos em dinheiro.

Contudo, reconhe?o que, em determinadas e espec?ficas situa??es, tais promo??es de compras de milhas podem valer a pena, para baratear algumas viagens, desde que tudo seja feito com planejamento e estrat?gia.

Vale lembrar que a Avianca ir? piorar sua tabela de resgates a partir de outubro, consoante informa??o do LoyaltyLobby.

Agrade?o ao leitor Joel pelo envio da dica!
