Avianca is having a killer sale on its lifemiles… to the tune of buy 1 get 2.6…

I have tried paying with a CSR, a Venture… and nothing. The payment goes through, and the next day, you get a notification that the payment was rejected… spent tons of time speaking to customer service - they claim the bank rejected the payment.

Payments from Sunday night are still showing as pending on these cards / taking up my balance…. Spoke to both Chase and C1 - and they said there are no issues from their end.

I mean, WTF!? Is this sale even real? Or is it too good to be true - can anyone on here confirm that they have been able to buy lifemiles on sale? 😂

Finally relented and transferred over miles from C1, they were instantly available, but a ~60K mile one-way business flight would potentially cost pennies with this sale…

Any advice or success stories? :)
