Monobank Platinum. Is it worth saving miles?

В небе над Турцией

Finally, after a year, I’m ready to tell you all the details of using the “Accumulation of miles” option on the Monobank Platinum card.

Having opened such cards in November 2019, my husband and I decided that we would save miles for one card, and leave cashback on the second card.

Monobank credits miles for purchases over 1000 UAH. Basically, these are all categories of goods/services, except for those that they indicate in their list on the site (taxes, telecommunications, and others).

For every 1000 UAH spent, 15 miles are credited to your account.

And finally, in December 2020, we saw that we had accumulated 4 thousand miles and decided to spend them.

But you can spend them only in the amount of a multiple of 1000 miles. That is, for example, if an airline ticket that you bought with a Monobank card costs from UAH 3001 to UAH 3999, then you need to accumulate 4000 miles.

You can redeem miles in the Monobank app for air tickets purchased no earlier than 3 months before the exchange, which is also very limiting.

At the end of December 2020, I had the task of buying tickets for a flight to Turkey and managing to get a ticket as close as possible in cost to UAH 4000. As a result, I managed to buy a ticket with seat selection and luggage for UAH 3851.

So, it was time to spend the accumulated 4000 miles and get our 3851 UAH back.

This is done very easily, at the bottom of the payment for the ticket there is an inscription Compensate with miles. After clicking on which, such a window appears confirming the exchange of miles.

We click on it and we get our 3851 UAH back to the card.

In total, it took a year to accumulate miles for our ticket, and in general, this is a rather long period. Even though it was a difficult year due to the pandemic, the costs were less than planned. And maybe in a normal year we would have accumulated miles faster.

But we still decided to continue saving miles for the next ticket. Although this is long, you must agree, it’s nice to get a free whole ticket as a gift 🙂

Let’s see how quickly we accumulate miles this time, and I will definitely tell you about this story separately.
