Update: Some of the comments belie a little confusion. As the post says, I’ll book the winner an award with YOUR Lufthansa miles, not mine.
In honor of the return of 50k bonus miles on the Lufthansa Premier Miles & More World MasterCard, for one lucky winner, I will book an award for the winner and as many travel companions as the winner has with their Lufthansa miles!
I know a lot of us have 55k+ Lufthansa miles sitting in our Miles & More accounts from getting the Lufthansa Premier Miles & More World MasterCard during a previous 50k promotion, and I’m sure a ton of folks who are new to the game just got the card this week.
Lufthansa miles aren’t particularly hard to use. I’ve written some Anatomy of an Award posts to explain for everyone’s benefit the exact process of converting Lufthansa miles to dream trips:
- Using Lufthansa Miles for a Hawaii Award in a Flat Bed (and the Trip Report of that awesome flight is here)
- Booking Incredible Singapore Business Class to Europe with Lufthansa Miles
For the winner I’ll do even more. I’ll personally give you the full MileValue Award Booking Service treatment for a booking with your Lufthansa miles.
Entry is open to anyone with Lufthansa miles or who expects to have some in the next few months. Having The Lufthansa Premier Miles & More World MasterCard is not a requirement for entry. There are two ways to enter:
- Comment on this post with what trip you have in mind. Here are some great uses of Lufthansa miles if you’re unsure. (Are you one of the people who receive one free daily email every morning with all of the day’s posts? Click the post title in the email and comment on the blog instead of replying to the email.)
- Retweet this tweet:
MileValue is giving away a free award booking to someone with Lufthansa miles. Retweet this to enter to win. –> http://t.co/GiNQ6BrkFM
— MileValue (@MileValue) May 2, 2014
You can enter both ways.
I’ll pick a winner early Monday morning, email the winner, and get started booking your dream trip.
If you don’t win, we’re still standing by at the Award Booking Service, ready to book your award with Lufthansa miles.
Full offer details on the 50k The Lufthansa Premier Miles & More World MasterCard® offer:

I will have 6.5 hours at FRA but I don’t think I will take the tour after seeing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_3638881177&feature=iv&src_vid=vjO6PMAQVoA&v=Y8tRJqhgaQk
Hi Scott.
I would like to use my Luthansa miles for spring break 2015 (9 +/- 3 days) (last week of March . I am open to any Hawaii, Asia, or Europe. I would leave it open so you can find the best product available. Ill top off my Mile and More account with Starwood points if needed.
if a long haul, my wife would prefer a flat bed. Thanks again!
Thanks the Folks here save me TIME and $$$$$$$$$$..Maybe their have Cheap French Wine .
I’m sitting on a decent amount of LH miles thanks to cc spend and want to max them out by using a Mileage bargain award. I’m got quite a bit of flexibility, my goal is to get the most out of them. Europe, Hawaii, Asia – I’m game for it all.
Great perk. Please count me in. Thanks
Thinking about Bavaria, the Lake District of Northern Italy, and the Dolomites.
I want to try singapore suites with Lufthansa miles !
We’re pretty much open to anything that one could do with Lufthansa miles.
Thanks for this offer!
I would like to book a family trip to Frankfurt in summer 2015.
We have a bunch of Lufthansa miles, and we’d like to send our daughter’s 3rd grade teacher to either India or Bali, her dream destinations, as a thank you for being outstanding every day for the kids. She gets paid almost nothing, and she gives and gives and gives. We would love the chance to give something back!
I am in a distance swim across the Dardanelles this August and would use the miles to fly from Boston to Istanbul.
This would be our FIRST TRIP using earned miles as my hubby and I just started collecting miles. Really excited.
Thanks a lot!!!
I would travel anywhere you send us to renew our vows and have a second honeymoon!
Both my wife and I got the Lufthansa card last time the bonus was at 50k. We have been looking at planning a fall trip to Germany via a business saver award. However, we would love to win this contest to maybe find a way to pull better value from our miles (and minimize taxes and fees)!
Looking forward for some help, last I tried to used them, I gave up after a week and went back to my preferred united miles. Looking forward to see you get my LH miles to good use – probably Europe trip – family/friends.
hoping to try the lie flat seats to Hawaii next april for spring break with my daughter
I would like to use my Lufthansa miles to get to London next summer in business or 1st class.
I would love to go back to Europe! Not picky there’s so much to see and do it doesn’t matter what part.

Take a good look @ Nice Fr. (NCE) Great airport NICE cheap transportation ,Hotels and Cannes and Monaco are really close .The weather is great a lot more months too and then there’s the beaches..
Have deposit down for a river cruise in May 2015′
Budapest – Ansterdam. Could use the points!
I have 60,805 miles with Lufthansa… would like to go from LAS to GRU in about 3 weeks, with an open return (probably in late July). Thanks for your consideration of my request.
I think I’m going to use this to bring my boyfriend back to London, he’s immigrated here 13 years ago and never got a chance to go back, plus his birthday is coming up in a couple weeks so I think this would be an AMAZING present for him.
I’d be interested in a west coast to Europe trip for 2 that isn’t too costly from a fuel surcharge standpoint and would hopefully include a good stopover or 2!
ORD-BUD, PRG-VIE(stop)-MIA please
west coast to europe! your 50K + my 50K let’s make it happen! or both two people LAX-JFK. mmm flat beds!
I’d like to take my family of four to Paris for the summer 2015 via Lufthansa first class. I’m brand new to the earning points and miles programs, just started out last month, April 2014. We’ve never flown anything but coach/econ so this is a lofty goal I’ve set to achieve in the next thirteen months. I’ll be obsessed with learning everything I can on your site and others.
I have in mind a trip to India via Singapore late this year. Thanks for the offer!
Need to fly from SFO to New Delhi 1st or biz class in January and am open to any additional destinations that might be available from using miles& more award miles. Thanks for a very informative website and outstanding service that helped me get rid of accumulated pre-devaluation United miles.
Hawaii in 2014 and/or Europe in 2015. Thanks so much.
I was going to wait and take my 9 year old son somewhere when he turns 14. But we have miles on Lufthansa and United. If we could swing a business class trip to Europe or Asia, that would be a thrill. July or possibly late December/early January are the only dates (or spring break).
A trip to Europe in 2015!
a trip to munich!
Scott:
Have you thought of offering your booking service for free to anyone that signs up for a card using your link? Scratch each others back? Incentivize me/others. Good idea? We live in a barter society.
Frankfurt to Chicago. Love your blog!
I have the card from last years promo, are 2 of these cards possible? Thanks Charlie
Nice, FR. First class terminal FRA. Next April.
SEA-DXB
I would like to use my Lufthansa miles for a winter gateway to Europe.
We will probably use the miles to go back to London.
My wife and I are planning a month in Europe in summer of 2015! Plan to use Lufthansa miles from FRA back to the West Coast in 1st class and spend a few hours in the FRA first class terminal prior to coming home. Got my sign up bonus last May and my wife got hers just this week. With the sign up bonus and transfer from SPG, will give us enough miles for our dream flights
