Update 8/10/23: There is another link here. This offer provides Companion Certificate after first use of card (rather than onaccount anniversary) and also 2 passes to LH Business Lounges
Update 1/5/23: This offer disappeared for a while, and is now showing again. (ht HMBC)
The Offer
- Barclays is offering 80,000 miles on the Lufthansa Miles & More when you spend $3,000 and pay the annual fee within the first 90 days
Card Details
- Annual fee of $89 (waived for Senator and HON Circle Members, as long as they maintain their Senator or HON Circle Member status)
- Free annual companion ticket after annual fee is paid and on card anniversary
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 2 miles per $1 spent on all miles & more integrate partners
- 1 mile per $1 spent on all other purchases
- Free FICO score
- No foreign transaction fees
- Two Lufthansa Business Lounge vouchers annually (note despite the name Business is their lowest class of lounge, senator is higher and 1st is their highest class of lounge)
- 0% Introductory APR for 15 months
Our Verdict
Previous high offer was 75,000 miles. This bonus is significantly better though as the spend requirement is only $3,000 rather than $20,000. If you have a use of Lufthansa miles then this is definitely worth considering if not applying for. We will add this to our list of the best credit cad bonuses.
If you’re going to apply for this card then I’d also recommend reading our post on things you should know about Barclays before applying.

Lufthansa miles are the most useless out there.
not if you live in europe
Anyone who has this card….Are the miles able to be turned into cash instead? Like a statement credit or Direct Deposit like other cards offer. Plus if they are convertible to cash what is 80,000 miles worth in dollars?
no, only miles
I think you can go to their app and convert 3300 miles to 10$ giftcards (I see a lot in list, lice Target etc). So I sign-on bonus is around 240$
Most useless miles ever. Limited availability at bad rates. The only card I was unable to use all my signup bonus because points expired and there was literally nothing to buy.
So true. Just checked, 35k + €95 for CDG-FRA, really? Even Frontier miles worth more. 🙂
These are ok for domestic United
What I basically used them for. If you find availability (iirc, was always redeyes or indirects/the least desirable flights).
Approved, Thanks DOC! The 80k offer you linked provides Companion Certificate after first use of card (rather than onaccount anniversary) and also 2 passes to LH Business Lounges. Good deal for $89 and 3k spend.
how many inquiries you had in last 24 months?
did they?
The aff link is still showing 80k, I’m curious if they’d honor it

Definitely looks dead. Tried opening in different browsers and with incognito mode. 50k now
Seems to be only 50k now…. Will wait and see if the 80k returns before pulling the trigger.
