Here is an example of this buy miles bonus saving you some money:
You can buy 96,000 miles for EUR 1760. Those 96,000 miles will be enough
to redeem for a discounted business class award ticket between Toronto and Europe (with a few miles to spare)
Looking at Feb 7-14, 2017 in business class you can get the discounted
rate between YYZ & FCO for 93,750 miles and 455.77EUR in taxes and
fees. To buy the miles will cost EUR1848 (including 5% GST) and add in
the taxes and fees on the award flight of 455.77EURfor a total of 2303.77 EUR. Convert that to C$ and you get C$3,290.97.
To buy the same tickets outright costs C$5,570.11. As you can see buying
the miles can provide you a savings of over C$2,200 on these particular
flights!
If you don't live in Canada those miles will only cost you 1760EUR
saving an additional 88EURor so. And the discount for these Flying Blue
tickets is only 25% at this time, sometimes its 50% off so your savings
could be even bigger.
