Lufthansa Miles & More: Welcome Bonus Increased to 100,000 Miles

The Miles & More World Elite Mastercard offers 100,000 80,000 50,000 award miles after spending $3,000 in purchases and paying the annual fee, both within the first 90 days (ways to meet this requirement). See our reviews for more airline cards.

• Update 8/31/23: The welcome bonus has increased once again, from 50,000 to 80,000 to 100,000 points.
• Update 8/20/23: Another offer link here, which provides a companion certificate after the first card use, rather than on account anniversary.
• Update 1/5/23: The welcome bonus is back up to 80,000 miles, highest ever.
• Update 12/8/22: The signup bonus has decreased to 50,000 award miles.

Miles & More is an airline loyalty program which includes Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, SWISS and more. As such, the co-branded Mastercard is great for travelers who occasionally fly with Lufthansa and its partner airlines.

You’ll easily cover the annual fee if you take full advantage of its generous perks and flexible rewards structure. Like double miles on Miles & More ticket purchases, a complimentary companion ticket every year and 2 free passes to the Lufthansa Business Lounge annually.

If you don’t fly every once in awhile with Miles & More airlines, then you’d be better off with another airline-branded card or a general travel rewards card.

Bottom Line

The Lufthansa Miles & More card has never had a better bonus than this one. Now, if you spend $3,000 and pay the annual fee within 90 days, you can get 100,000 miles.

Lufthansa miles are valuable. Domestic economy round-trip flights cost 25,000 miles, but United’s business class (domestic first class) only costs 35,000 Lufthansa miles round-trip. Award flights will cost half as much for one way. That means that this sign-up bonus is enough for two round-trip business-class flights in the United States.

In economy, it will cost you 50,000 miles to go to Europe, but the fees are very high.
