What raises or lowers the value
It uses region-based award pricing on Star Alliance partners and does not pass on carrier-imposed fuel surcharges on most partner awards, which is why it appears so often in award-booking research.
Expiry and devaluation
LifeMiles applies an inactivity-based expiry policy with paid reactivation in some cases. Check the current terms with Avianca.
Buying and selling context
Avianca sells LifeMiles directly and runs regular bonus promotions, so the official price is always the first benchmark.
