How do bonus miles work?

Answer 1

Bonus miles are additional miles earned on top of the standard miles for flights or purchases, typically offered as promotions by airlines or loyalty programs. They can be awarded for various activities, such as flying with a specific airline, reaching loyalty milestones, or using co-branded credit cards. Bonus miles often have specific expiration dates and may not count toward elite status qualifying miles. They can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, or other rewards within the airline's loyalty program.
