Just a heads up for anyone using LifeMiles.
I found a round-trip flight for 78k miles + about $99 in taxes. Transferred my points, went to book it, and it kept giving me a “tax calculation error.”
Reached out to support and they said they needed to verify the taxes with the airline. Now they’re telling me the taxes are actually $273.
So yeah… the price you see at first might not be the real one.
Also, once you transfer points, you’re stuck, can’t move them back.
Just be careful before transferring. This whole thing has been pretty frustrating.
