Lufthansa’s Miles & More programme is running another very generous deal to push the Miles & More Hotels booking website.

Book a hotel room via their portal between now and 28th February and you will get up to 13,000 bonus Miles & More miles in addition to the regular 1,000 miles.

Unfortunately this offer is only for new customers who have not booked via the Miles & More Hotels site before.

The promotion works like this:

You get a guaranteed 1,000 miles minimum per booking as base mileage

1,000 bonus miles if your booking costs between €100 and €299

4,000 bonus miles if your booking costs between €300 and €1,199

13,000 bonus miles if your booking costs over €1,200

This guarantees you at least 5,000 miles for a €300+ hotel.  Miles & More miles are a little tricky to earn in the UK, and the opportunity to earn at least £50-worth of miles is attractive.

You must book via this webpage to see the bonus offer.  These will be treated as third party bookings so you won’t earn any hotel points on top if you pick a branded hotel – you are also unlikely to receive any elite status benefits. 

Rob used this offer last year for an independent hotel in Innsbruck, where there are no decent chain options, and earned 5,000 M&M miles whilst paying the same price as if he had booked direct.

Remember that you need to book by 28th February and be a first-time user of the new Miles & More Hotels site. The stay can be for any future date.


How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards

How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards (April 2025)

None of the Star Alliance airlines currently have a UK credit card.

There is, however, still a way to earn Star Alliance miles from a UK credit card

The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to over 40 airlines at the rate of 3:1.

The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 airline miles per £1 spent on the card.

There is a preferential conversion rate to United Airlines – which is a Star Alliance member – of 2 : 1 if you convert 60,000 Bonvoy points at once.

The Star Alliance members which are Marriott Bonvoy transfer partners are: Aegean, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines, Singapore Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines.
