The Highlights

There are no credit card transfer partners for Miles and More, making it a program we rarely recommend

  • While Miles and More miles are difficult to earn, they can be redeemed on Lufthansa or any of its 40 partner airlines
  • Fuel surcharges on Lufthansa are amongst the highest of airline loyalty programs
  • If you have Miles and More miles, they are best used on United or Air Canada flights within North America or flights within Europe
  • You cannot even search award availability unless you have at least 7000 miles in your account

What to Know About This Point System

Miles & More is the loyalty program for Lufthansa, Europe’s largest airline. Lufthansa operates flights to 18 destinations within Europe and 197 destinations outside of Europe, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington D.C.

You’ll earn Miles & More points when traveling on Lufthansa or any of its 40 partner airlines. You can also accrue points by making purchases with partner hotels, car rental agencies and cruise lines. Points can be transferred from Marriott (3:1 rate), IHG (5:1) and Hilton Honors (10:1) to the Miles & More program.

Use your Miles & More points to book flights and upgrades on Lufthansa — or to book a hotel or rent a car with a partner. The Miles & More program is part of the Star Alliance, so your points can be used on partner airlines such as United and Air Canada.

Bottom Line: Lufthansa is Europe’s largest airline, so there are plenty of flight options to book with your Miles & More points. Your points can also be used on other Star Alliance airlines, including United and Air Canada.
