Elite program

What are qualifying miles?

Qualifying miles are a type of miles that count exclusively toward helping you achieve or maintain elite status. Unlike regular miles, qualifying miles determine your level of recognition as a frequent traveler.

How can you earn qualifying miles?

You can earn qualifying miles in several ways, including:

  • Flying with avianca or any of our Star Alliance network partners.
  • Using co-branded credit cards, which award you miles for your purchases.
  • Subscribing to Lifemiles plus  where you’ll gain access to exclusive benefits and additional mileage accumulation.
  • Staying at partner hotels or using other services associated with the Lifemiles program.

Each eligible activity earns qualifying miles that bring you closer to elite status: silver, gold, or diamond. To track your progress, go to the “Elite Progress” section on lifemiles.com.
