AviancaMiles Life members, listen up: The airline is now offering two limited-time flights Reward Flight Offers to South and Central America and Europe — but you have to book this deal before July 4th.

LifeMiles is a transfer partner of American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou Rewards And Wells Fargo RewardsSo now might be a great time to transfer your hard-earned points to your LifeMiles account for a great vacation this fall.

Two-for-one award airfare to South and Central America

From now through July 4, you can get a buy-one-get-one-free cashback offer on award flights to select destinations in South and Central America. That means for every two tickets you book, Miles of life will refund the miles to one of them.

Here are all the details:

• Applicable to LifeMiles members residing in the United States only
• You must book before 23:59 GMT on 4 July.
• Flights must take place between September 1 and October 31.
• Flights may include connections and may be one-way or round-trip, but no stopovers are permitted.
• Flights must be booked directly through the Avianca website. (You can also order through a call center or sales department, but it will cost you between $25 and $80.)

The promotion includes routes from several major cities in the United States and Canada: Miami, Orlando, New York City, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas and Ontario. Destinations include several cities in Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador and Guatemala. You can see the full list of applicable routes above Avianca website.

Award flights on these routes start at 5,550 miles one-way, so technically you could pay just 2,775 miles per person to get to your destination with this cashback miles offer. You’ll still have to pay taxes and fees, so make sure you use a credit card that offers rewards on the buy air.

Remember that this offer is offered as a cashback and not a discount. That means you must have enough LifeMiles in your account to book all your tickets (you can buy miles if you need more), and the airline will refund the miles you paid for every second ticket after you fly.

So if you book two tickets, you’ll get your miles back for one of them; if you book four tickets, you’ll get your miles back for two. If you book three tickets, you’ll only get your miles back for one. The tickets must be on the same booking to get a refund.

LifeMiles also offers 20% cash back on award flights from Miami and Los Angeles to Paris, London, Madrid and Barcelona. Again, you’ll pay the full fare and 20% of the miles you paid will be refunded after you fly.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Applies to all LifeMiles members (not just those residing in the US).
• You must book before 23:59 GMT on 4 July.
• Flights must be taken between September 16 and November 10.
• Flights may include connections and may be one-way or round trip, but stopovers are not permitted.
• Flights must be booked directly through the Avianca website. (You can also schedule through the call center or sales office, but you’ll be charged a fee of $25 to $80.)

This deal isn’t as exciting as the BOGO deal mentioned above, but it’s worth considering if you’re considering a trip next fall Europe. Award flights on sales route starting at 44,000 LifeMiles one-way, so you’ll save at least 8,800 miles per ticket.

However, if you keep one Amex card – such as The Platinum Card® from American Express or American Express® Gold Cardthat earned Membership bonus points are transferable — between now and June 30, you can get a 15% bonus when you transfer your Amex points to Avianca LifeMiles. Therefore, 1,000 Membership Rewards points are worth 1,150 LifeMiles, meaning you can transfer 39,000 Amex points for 44,850 LifeMiles. Then, if you book a flight from Miami to London that’s 44,000 miles away, you’ll get an 8,800-mile discount on a one-way ticket.

Note that this transfer reward is through Avianca, so it will not be reflected in your American Express account. You should see the reward reflected in your LifeMiles account within 24 hours of transferring the points. Again, this transfer reward end on June 30.

Overall, if you want to take advantage of one of these LifeMiles deals, act fast—they’ll be gone by July 4.
