LifeMiles have a few sweetspots that involve strange definitions of regions, and other good deals like Central or Eastern US to Europe in economy. If I\u2019m headed to Europe or Asia I\u2019m going to do it in a lie flat bed like a diva though. So allow me to illustrate how I think about this bonus:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>60,000 TYP = 75,000 LifeMiles = One way business class between Europe and North America<\/li>\n<li>64,800 TYP = 81,000 LifeMiles = One way business class between Asia and North America<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those rates aren\u2019t bad, especially given Avianca\u2019s Star Alliance partner availability. Just avoid those old United Business class 2-2-2 configs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Clip this coupon in all of your <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meijer.com\/mperks\/coupons.html\">Meijer MPerks<\/a> accounts for a $10 Meijer GiftCard with $50 in Happy Gift Cards.
