Hello, how can we help you?

Can I exchange award miles for status miles?

You have several options for exchanging award miles for status miles (excluding HON Circle miles). These options are available to all Miles & More members without status or with Senator status in connection with several Miles & More Credit Cards; Frequent Travellers can benefit from a mileage exchange as part of Miles & More Selections.

 

The following general conditions for credit card holders apply to exchanging award miles for status miles:

 

  • You can exchange between 5,000 and 25,000 award miles once per calendar year.
  • This applies to award miles that you have received for credit card purchases in the current and previous calendar year
  • Welcome, multiple and promotional miles, etc. are excluded from the mileage exchange.
  • The ratio for exchanging award miles for status miles is 5:1.
  • Your exchanged miles will be credited to your mileage account as status miles for the current calendar year, and the corresponding award miles will be deducted.
  • An exchange which has been validated cannot be reversed.
