Terms and conditions of use for Miles & More Selections
General terms and conditions
Validity of your Select Benefits
As soon as you exceed a mileage threshold, you are eligible to choose from the corresponding Select Benefits for a three-month period. After that, the option expires, and you are no longer entitled to make use of these Select Benefits. The selection of individual benefits available to you is based on your status at the time you exceed a mileage threshold.
If you qualify for the next highest status level during this period, your options for selection will remain valid. They will only expire at the end of the three-month period. The same procedure applies at the end of each year, i.e., the three-month period remains valid beyond 31 December.

If the value of your Gift Card exceeds the airfare, you cannot use the difference against a subsequent booking, and the difference cannot be paid out in cash. It therefore expires. If the value of your Gift Card is lower than your chosen airfare, you can pay the remainder by credit card.
The Gift Card cannot be paid in cash, is not cumulative, and cannot be exchanged or refunded. (Gift Cards can only be refunded on bookings for refundable tickets for the same amount. These are not refunded in cash, but by means of a credit note that you can use on another flight booking.)
