Miles & More and Booking.com take their partnership to a new level: for the first time, miles can be redeemed for accommodation

In the future, Miles & More members will be able to redeem their miles directly when booking accommodation from the extensive global portfolio of Booking.com
Partial redemption from 3,000 miles – flexible and in real time
The new offer complements existing options in the hotel sector

Frankfurt am Main, 12 August 2026 – Miles & More is expanding its long-standing partnership with Booking.com. For the first time, members of the Lufthansa Group’s loyalty programme will be able to earn and redeem miles on the popular booking platform to reduce the cost of their accommodation. This offer is valid immediately for all participating accommodation providers. Miles & More is the first loyalty programme to enable mileage redemption on Booking.com when booking accommodation.

Redeeming miles: flexibly, on a pro rata basis and at the customer’s express request

Members can decide how many miles they want to redeem towards a booking to reduce the amount they still have to pay in cash. This is possible from 3,000 miles onwards. The maximum number of miles that can be redeemed depends on the individual’s Miles & More account balance and is displayed during the booking process. As miles cannot be redeemed for certain local fees and charges, a remaining balance must be paid in cash for every booking. The miles redeemed are deducted from the Miles & More account in real time. Popular Booking.com benefits, such as the Genius discount, still apply when booking with miles.

“Redeeming miles for hotel stays is one of the most popular options in the Miles & More programme. By partnering with Booking.com, we are offering our members another attractive option that ties in directly with the travel experience and provides genuine added value. This partnership is an important step for us towards further strengthening the relevance of Miles & More throughout the entire travel chain,” says Gerald Schlögl, Managing Director of Miles & More GmbH. “At the same time, we are responding to a clear wish from our community. As the partnership progresses, we also plan to run promotions where members can earn extra miles.”

“At Booking.com, our mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world. Our expanded partnership with Miles & More, the first airline loyalty partner with whom we are building this solution, demonstrates what is possible when two industry leaders align,” adds Mark van der Linden, Vice President Partnerships at Booking.com. “Enabling real-time miles redemption for accommodations is a game changer which adds immediate, real value for customers.”

How to book with miles on Booking.com

In future, to take advantage of the relevant offers, there will be two separate links on the Miles & More website to the co-branded pages on Booking.com: one for earning miles and one for redeeming them. On the redemption page, members can select a suitable accommodation option marked “Redeem miles” and make a booking. During the booking process, members must log in to their Miles & More account. When logging in for the first time, members will be asked to consent to the transfer of their data to Booking.com. This will not be required for future bookings. Members can then use the slider to select the desired number of miles, from 3,000 up to the maximum displayed. Miles can only be redeemed if the ‘Pay now’ option is selected on the payment page. Redemption is not possible for deferred payment or payment on arrival. The remaining balance is settled using a standard payment method. In the initial phase, these bookings can be made via both the desktop and mobile versions of the Booking.com website.
