Reply To: Miles & More credit card mileage protection

[Jon]

Just in case this is useful to anyone planning to burn their potentially-expiring miles tomorrow, 31st March (and apologies if this is already widely known, but just in case not ;-). It looks like M&M release redemption seats at midnight *GMT*, so currently 1am UK time now that the clocks have changed. Latest availability appears to be up to today minus 11 days. (I wanted to book a Singapore Airlines flight for March 19th next year – checked at midnight Germany, midnight UK, and finally saw them at 1am UK / midnight GMT. I don’t know whether that might vary by route or origin country or some such, so YMMV.)

On your marks, get set… 😉

(FWIW I found the booking process very easy, even on mobile, and ticketing was instant. Although I did briefly have an issue with my credit card – seems the trick is not to check the box to use the address from your account but rather enter it manually, even if it appears identical. HTH.)
