Jasmin’s Flight Miles Hacking Guide 🇩🇪

Hey there, friend! 👋 Welcome to my personal stash of flight miles hacking secrets in Germany. With the help of this guide, you too can become a flight miles hacking expert and unlock a travelling life of luxury and freedom! 🍾✈️

Example: Fly Business Class to Asia with Miles

A one-way Business Class flight from Frankfurt to Tokyo or Bali can easily cost €1,500+.

The points required, surcharges, and availability depend on the program, route, and travel date. Compare live bookable awards first and transfer only after finding a suitable itinerary. Here’s the basic approach:

  1. Get the Amex Gold Card for up to 50,000 points welcome bonus (55,000 with Gold Rosé). Apply with my referral link. Advertising / referral link.
  2. Add the Amex Platinum Card for up to 85,000 points additional welcome bonus. Apply with my referral link. Advertising / referral link.
  3. Activate the “Turbo” Program to earn 1.5 Membership Rewards points per euro spent.
  4. Transfer points to an airline like British Airways, Singapore KrisFlyer, or Flying Blue to book your flight.

Gold and Platinum can provide 135,000+ welcome points together. Whether that covers a premium redemption depends on the transfer ratio, live award availability, and surcharges.

Self-employed or running a business? The current Business Platinum referral offer shows 200,000 Membership Rewards points after €15,000 spend in 6 months. The card costs €850 per year and only makes sense if your business reaches the spend naturally and will use its substantial business and travel credits. See the details and reasons not to apply.
