Uptrip & Loyalty

Uptrip releases three new cards and designs. In addition, Uptrip hints at a potentially exciting new Senator Status promotion on Instagram.

Two new or old Lufthansa Group destinations?

The two newly released Uptrip cards are Boa Vista (Cape Verde) and Bridgetown (Barbados).

At least Boa Vista could be verified as a destination operated by Edelweiss from Zurich. Starting at the end of October 2026, flights can be booked with a weekly frequency. This card is likely to remain a rare one that can be earned as an Original Card.

Why Bridgetown has made it into the collection is less clear to us. Apparently, Barbados was a Lufthansa destination around 2020/21. However, we were unable to find any current flights or announcements.

Since Uptrip has only existed for about three years, the new card is unlikely to exist as an originally self-earned card. It may, however, become available via the Uptrip Card Mixer. If any of our readers have already seen the card or have further information about the destination, we would be happy to hear from you.

Uptrip releases three new cards: Luanda exists twice

We were surprised to see Luanda appear twice in the Uptrip marketplace. While we have seen design updates before, most notably with Brussels Airlines aircraft, older designs were always replaced. They did not appear separately in the marketplace.

We could imagine that this may be an error in Uptrip’s content management.

The return of the Uptrip Senator status?

wo new posts by Uptrip and Miles & More on Instagram are raising expectations and suggest that Uptrip users may be closer to achieving Senator status than expected. The second post shows a blurred Uptrip app screen with a golden symbol, along with the note: “Coming soon. April 10th.”

If this turns out to be true, we may soon see the return of Uptrip Senators within Lufthansa. The timing would make sense, as Uptrip celebrates its third anniversary in April 2026.

After the first quarter is already over, we want to evaluate the start of 2026 at Uptrip. Which Uptrip collections are actually worth it? Which initiatives promised in our exclusive Uptrip interview have been implemented? And what kind of feedback are we seeing from users?

More Uptrip collections – but also better ones?

As announced in the interview, Uptrip has increased its pace. Since February, we have at least been receiving two newsletters with new offers. So far in 2026, there have been quite a variety of redemption options:

• In January, Discover Airlines was featured for the first time, including a giveaway for free flights
• In February, Uptrip introduced partner integrations (Wolt & Free2Move)
• There was a re-release of the popular 20 Qualifying Points collection (5 × 20 points, but only the first redemption is free)
• At the beginning of March, Eurowings vouchers took center stage, along with internet vouchers and the Swiss Wanderlust aircraft model
• At the end of March, Uptrip added Brussels Airlines to the collections, again including a flight giveaway, flight vouchers, and an aircraft model
• In between, the Miles & More spin-off also ran a joker card sale

Not every offer has convinced us. In particular, the partner deals could be more attractive. That was already a weak point last year. However, the fact that more partner airlines are now being included is, in our view, a very positive development.

Of course, the Qualifying Points are always very welcome. The paid multiple redemption option (20 €) for up to an additional 80 points and Qualifying Points can be especially worthwhile if you expect to be short of points needed for frequent flyer status within your yearly plan.ollte sich insbesondere dann lohnen, wenn in der Jahresplanung zum Vielfliegerstatus absehbar noch Punkte fehlen werden.

Uptrip changes the collection design

Anyone who has used the Uptrip app by Miles & More more frequently will have noticed that the “Collections” tab has been redesigned. The launch was somewhat bumpy. It felt like watching the developers fix bugs and optimize the app live…

By now, the design appears to be stable. While the colors and visuals feel fresher, the design still does not fully convince us even after several weeks. On iPhones, some elements still seem poorly aligned and, in some cases, even cut off.

Even though the big breakthrough has not yet happened and the much-announced redesign of the marketplace is still pending, we can still see the effort as something positive overall.

More special campaigns?

n our interview, Uptrip boldly announced more “special campaigns.” So far, we have only seen the special card for Lufthansa’s 100th anniversary. However, we have not come across this card anywhere yet. We would be happy to receive any tips or submissions from readers.

Overall, we would still like to see significantly more in this area.

ITA Airways, collector focus & more

Many other topics Uptrip announced have not yet been implemented:

• ITA Airways has officially announced that it will join Miles & More. At this point, full integration of ITA with Uptrip should no longer be an obstacle. We have of course inquired and will report back!
• The announced “collector focus” is still not clearly visible to us.
• The supposedly essential role of NFT technology seems to be getting little further attention. On the contrary – as has often been the case, NFTs could not be redeemed directly for new collections.

Customer service – a new problem area?

We are receiving reports – also via social media – that it has become more difficult to reach customer service. Responses can take a long time, sometimes weeks. I have personally experienced this as well: resolving a technical issue (missing NFT cards) has now been pending for four months.

Conclusion – start of 2026 at Uptrip

Uptrip is offering more and more diverse offers, which should appeal to a broader audience. At the same time, however, the app is still leaving some potential untapped. Progress in development is moving slowly. The fact that customer service seems to be approaching the general Miles & More standard is, in our view, rather concerning.

The first Uptrip collections for January 2026 are here. Anyone who kept an eye on the app and followed our blog could already find out early which cards would be required for redemption.

Uptrip puts Discover Airlines in the spotlight

The year starts with three new collections focused on Discover Airlines. These include travel kits, a sweepstake, and a WiFi voucher.

1. Holiday Essentials

Uptrip is releasing a Discover Airlines travel kit limited to 25 units. It includes sandals, note the sizes M 38–41 or L 42–44, sunglasses, a bath duck, a luggage strap, and a microfiber towel. The collection requires a fair 9 cards, including 5 originals.

2. Discover Departure Dreams

Uptrip is launching a flight raffle. Five round trips for two people each with Discover Airlines will be awarded as prizes:

• 2× continental flights Business Class
• 1× intercontinental flight Business Class
• 2× intercontinental flights Economy Class

Based on the initial faulty description, we originally assumed the destination would be Cape Town. In fact, the destination appears to be freely selectable within the Discover Airlines route network. According to the description, the ticket also seems to be issued in a booking class that is generally eligible for upgrades.

Only 3 cards are required to participate, which keeps the barrier relatively low. Of course, the actual chance of winning is limited. Still, we consider this a good offer.

3. Cloud Connect

The third and final collection is once again an Uptrip classic. A WiFi voucher. This time for an intercontinental flight with Discover Airlines, Lufthansa, or Austrian Airlines. You need 4 originals out of a total of 6 cards to take part.

Conclusion – Uptrip collections in January 2026

Uptrip starts the new year with technical difficulties. Now that the new collections are successfully online, we draw a positive conclusion. We especially like the fact that Discover Airlines, alongside other airlines, is moving more into focus than before.

An overview of all active and past Uptrip collections.

Original post (September 23rd 2025): For many months, the integration between Lufthansa and ITA Airways has been progressing. This is also evident with Miles & More: Frequent flyers have long been able to earn points and qualifying points for their status on ITA flights.

One area, however, remains pending: the Uptrip app. Users have been waiting for months for the integration. It is known that Uptrip is working on it. In an interview in May 2025, Uptrip explained that the delay is mainly due to the low priority of this feature compared to the general integration of ITA into Lufthansa’s system landscape. Since then, things have gone quiet.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean much. True to Miles & More style, smaller updates are rarely announced far in advance or discussed with the community. That’s why it’s worth taking a look at which new Uptrip cards we might expect with ITA Airways.

ITA Airways Route Network

The ITA Airways route network gives clues about which new cards are likely. The overlap with existing Uptrip destinations is significant – especially on long-haul routes: Currently, there isn’t a single destination on long-haul routes that isn’t already represented on Uptrip.

The shorter distances are a bit more interesting:

• Medium-haul: One new destination – Tripoli (Libya)
• Short-haul: Four new destinations – Alghero, Reggio Calabria, Pantelleria, Lampedusa

Pantelleria is only served seasonally between July 5 and October 11, which will likely place it among the rare Uptrip cards.

Ita Airways – Flight Destinations

Hint: We already added these expected destinations to our Uptrip Card Collection Tool.

Uptrip Cards Featuring ITA Airways Aircraft

In addition to the destinations, the ITA Airways fleet will of course also be featured as a card set on Uptrip, along with the ITA Airways airline card.

✈ Aircraft marked in red are expected to remain in service with ITA Airways only until the end of 2025. Depending on when ITA Airways is added to Uptrip, the card could become a true rarity or possibly may not exist at all.

Will ITA Airways Flights Be Accepted Retroactively?

Very likely, yes. So far, Uptrip allows flights from the last six months to be scanned retroactively. There’s little reason to think this practice won’t continue with ITA.

However, one shouldn’t expect Miles & More or Uptrip to honor older ITA flights beyond six months as a courtesy.

Conclusion on ITA Airways on Uptrip

An official release date is still missing, but the direction is clear: ITA Airways will become part of Uptrip. The new destinations and aircraft cards will expand the portfolio for collectors. Of course, we also expect new collections aimed at attracting the new Italian audience.

Until then, keep your eyes open. Uptrip often announces news on Instagram or in the app store version notes.

Uptrip, the digital collectible card platform by Miles & More, is growing fast. In an exclusive interview, the team shares current user numbers, insights into planned activities for 2026, and much more.

The interview took place as an iterative written exchange. The original quotes were provided in German and thus are translated below.

Uptrip Shares User Numbers

Uptrip already reported strong growth last year. The team is also very satisfied with developments in 2025.

„Within this year alone, the number of users has nearly tripled. Almost 300,000 users are currently active on Uptrip.“.

With around 300,000 active users, Uptrip is still small compared to the more than 36 million Miles & More members. The growth rate is impressive though. This is especially true among younger users. Miles & More sees the closer linkage between both products as a

„continuous process that we will develop further step by step.“

Uptrip Outlook 2026: Growth and More Variety

Uptrip has ambitious plans for 2026 and made several promising announcements. The platform is set to grow further. At the same time, user interaction and satisfaction should remain high.

The Marketplace Will Be Redesigned

Uptrip also hinted at concrete changes of user experience and features in 2026. The most exciting news for users is likely this statement:

„A completely new marketplace design is planned for the end of Q2 2026. It aims to further improve card discoverability.“

The marketplace was already updated regularly last year. Despite these updates, trading does not always work smoothly. Display glitches can occur. Performance can be limited. Some special cards are currently not tradable at all. The new design aims to address these issues. This Uptrip outlook 2026 should significantly improve clarity and card discoverability.

Focus on Card Collectors

Not too suprising, another insight from the interview: Many Uptrip users are primarily collectors and not just reward hunters.

„These insights naturally flow into our product development. Collectors have been one of Uptrip’s core target groups from the very beginning.“

The recently released card mixer is one result of this collector focused approach. Campaigns like the release of rare cards at Christmas also follow this strategy. Further innovations are expected.

Uptrip also addressed criticism regarding the recent inflationary release of supposedly rare cards:

„In the future, there will continue to be special cards and limited collections requiring rare cards. These will remove cards from circulation again.“

From a collector perspective, we are not yet convinced that collections meant to remove rare cards will achieve the desired effect fully. The flood of formerly rare city cards remains hard to control. This is also due to the mixer, which can still create them without limits. More predictability would be desirable to avoid future disappointment.

Truly rare cards remain primarily special cards that are issued very rarely or not at all anymore. A second edition could bring fresh momentum here.

Uptrip “Card Edition 2” Announced

Anyone who takes a closer look at Uptrip cards will notice that almost all existing cards are marked with “1st Edition” in the lower right corner.

The community has repeatedly asked if and when a second edition will be released. We passed on the question and received new information. Internal concepts for such an edition already exist at Uptrip.

„We aim for very high standards for a possible Edition 2. It should be much more than a simple design update.“

This sounds promising. The team also made it clear that the new edition will still take some time.

In regards to design changes that have already been implemented, such as Brussels Airlines aircraft cards, one question remains open. How can these variants be collected in a targeted way. On the marketplace, the design type cannot be selected specifically. This might be adressed with the future marketplace update.

Conclusion – Uptrip Outlook 2026

First of all, we would like to sincerely thank the Uptrip team and Miles and More for the opportunity for this exclusive exchange. Even though some announcements (understandably) remained vague, we gained exciting insights into what awaits us in 2026.

If all announcements are delivered, it will be a varied year for the community. We are looking forward to it and will continue to follow developments with a critical eye. Beyond the topics above, we also discussed other relevant issues in the interview. These included the timeline for the ITA Airways integration and the positioning of the Web3 integration. More on this very soon.

A new project has emerged from within the Uptrip community: the Uptrip NFT Card Market. It is a platform designed to help users acquire missing cards for their Uptrip collections directly via the NFT marketplace OpenSea.

Overview and Structure of the Uptrip Card Market

On the marketplace homepage, users are presented with a clear and intuitive menu. It allows to select either a collection or a specific card type (airline, special card, aircraft, city).

If you choose “Collections,” for example, you will see an overview of all currently active collections. After selecting a specific collection, the tool lists all Uptrip cards required to complete it.

This view also shows which of these cards are currently available on OpenSea and at what price. With another click, users are taken directly to the detailed view and purchase page of the respective NFT card on OpenSea. Anyone who already has an account there can purchase the card immediately and add it to their own collection.

The search works in a similar way via the other card categories, for users who do not want to go through the collection view. This allows card collectors, for example, to get a targeted overview of available cards that are still missing from their collections.

Tool Impressions and Feedback from the Developer

The developer emphasizes that the Uptrip NFT Card Market is still in beta and was only launched recently. In his view, how well the tool will establish itself depends primarily on:

• the attractiveness of future Uptrip offers
• users’ openness toward NFTs
• the further expansion of NFT features by Miles & More

A direct link to the Uptrip Card Market can be found here.

The website is nicely structured and focused on its core functions. However, there are a few areas where we could imagine further improvements in the future:

• Some card names, especially Special Cards, are not displayed correctly (likely due to inconsistent OpenSea metadata).
• Prices are shown only in cryptocurrencies; a direct euro comparison is missing.
• For users without prior NFT experience, additional explanations or help pages would be useful.

Conclusion on the Uptrip NFT Card Market

As someone who is regularly active on OpenSea myself, I welcome this new project and will continue to keep an eye on it. Trading volume for Uptrip NFTs is still relatively limited, and our analysis from last year is likely still largely valid. This is true even though the recent holiday promotion has made some unusual cards comparatively affordable.

For collectors looking to complete their collections in a targeted way, the Uptrip NFT Card Market is a good place to start. It simplifies the search process. At the same time reduces the risk of accidentally ending up with a fake Uptrip collection.

There are many guides outlining strategies for reaching Lufthansa Frequent Traveller (FTL) status. Unfortunately, I have repeatedly come across websites that recommend approaches which are barely feasible in practice. For example, who realistically flies 33 segments back and forth within Poland on LOT?

Since a lot has also changed recently within Miles & More regarding Points for Frequent Traveller (or Miles & More Silver) status, I would like to summarize the new options.

In this article, I deliberately focus on practical and realistic ways to reaching FTL status as efficiently as possible. The emphasis is not on theoretical edge cases, but on strategies that can be integrated into everyday life and, ideally, combined with one another.

Naturally, many of the approaches in this article also apply to Senator status. A separate article on this topic will follow in the future.

1. How Can You Reach Lufthansa Frequent Traveller Status?

The Frequent Traveller status is the entry level into the Miles & More status world. Currently, the following requirements apply:

• 650 Status Points
• 325 Qualifying Points
• within a qualification period of one calendar year

Status Points are generally earned through flights with airlines of the Lufthansa Group as well as selected Star Alliance partner airlines. Qualifying Points, however, are only awarded for flights with Lufthansa Group airlines and fully integrated Miles & More partners (such as LOT Polish Airlines).

The classic way to achieve Lufthansa Frequent Traveller status is therefore through a sufficient number of (paid) flights. The following applies:

2. Creating an Annual Plan for Flights and Points

Anyone aiming for FTL status and already realizing that it might be tight should start with a realistic annual plan. This helps clarify early on whether achieving the status this year is feasible and how much may still be missing.

You should ask yourself the following questions:

• Which flights are already planned anyway? (business or private)
• In which class will these flights be booked?
• When will these flights take place?
• Will these flights occur before or after the desired time of achieving status?

Especially with planned vacation trips or regular business travel, small optimizations can often be made that add up to a significant effect overall. Without planning any additional trips.

3. Earning Points & Qualifying Points Without Additional Flights

Before planning extra flights, it is worth taking a look at ways to reduce the required number of points in advance:

Possibly, you can directly combine a Marriott stay (including more affordable Bonvoy brands such as Moxy) with already planned trip.

4. Correctly Calculating the FTL Status Gap

A common mistake is to only look at the status gap at the end of the year. It makes much more sense to calculate early in order to remain flexible throughout the year:

• ✓
  Aktueller Stand: Status- und Qualifying Points prüfen
• ✓
  Geplante Flüge: Alle Flüge bis zum gewünschten Statuserhalt berücksichtigen
• ✓
  Factor in promotions: Points from promotions, hotel programs, or Uptrip

Especially if the status is needed before major vacation trips (e.g. for lounge access or extra baggage allowance), this advance planning is worthwhile. I personally use a small Excel spreadsheet, but even a rough mental calculation is often sufficient.

Reaching Lufthansa Frequent Traveller Status – Practical Options

Depending on the remaining gap, different strategies may be suitable forreaching Lufthansa Frequent Traveller status:

5a) Optimizing Existing Flights

Planned flights can often be optimized without much additional effort:

• Connections with a stopover instead of a direct flight (e.g. via Frankfurt or Munich). Sometimes this even results in more convenient flight times or lower fares.
• Checking rail feeder connections (Lufthansa Express Rail), which count toward status up to a certain limit (maximum 160 QPs).

Sometimes, connections departing from Cologne or Düsseldorf with a rail feeder to Frankfurt are cheaper (or at least not more expensive) than departing directly from Frankfurt. This can be worthwhile even if you still fly directly from Frankfurt. In practice, there is currently no systematic check as to whether the booked train was actually used.

5b) Getting More Points from Existing Flights

If only a few points are missing, upgrades can help. A distinction must be made between upgrades purchased at a fixed price and bid-based upgrades.

On long-haul flights, an upgrade can provide a noticeable boost in Points. However, cheap upgrades at the gate or onboard do not earn points. Nor do upgrades via miles or upgrade vouchers.

5c) Compensating Flights and Receiving Extra Points

Miles & More has recently started awarding QPs for CO₂ compensation of flights (link directly to the offer). Depending on the package booked, up to 80%(!) extra points are possible. However, the Euro-to-Points ratio should be carefully considered. Compensation can be worthwhile especially for short economy flights, whereas compensating long-haul business class flights is often expensive.

Tip: According to Miles & More, Award Flights can also be compensated.

5d) Cheap Weekend Trips and Blind Booking Offers

There are regularly attractive offers for:

• ✈️
  Blind booking flights: via Eurowings, Austrian, or the Lufthansa website.
• 🛒
  ALDI Reisen (Travels): Eurowings blind booking flights, e.g. €80 round trip.
• 🌍
  Regional airports: Poland or Italy are often interesting. Deal portals such as Travel-Dealz.de are worth checking.

These trips can often be added spontaneously.

5e) Shifting Departures Abroad

Unfortunately, Lufthansa Group flights are often cheaper when the journey starts in another European country. In particular, it is frequently worth checking the following cities using flight search engines:

While the additional flight to the starting point may negate the price advantage, it also provides extra Points and an additional travel experience.

5f) The Fast but Expensive Route: Business & First Class

• Business Class long-haul: A quick way to earn many Points. Consider Star Alliance partners if only Points are missing.
• First Class: More of an experience, less price-efficient for status purposes. Details on long-haul Business and First Class will follow in the Senator article.

A comparatively short route with a high Qualifying Points yield is Beirut (200 QPs per segment). This is a destination I personally fly to often and which is served by several Lufthansa Group airlines (e.g. from Düsseldorf, Berlin, Frankfurt, and Zurich). However, caution is advised: Anyone looking for the comfort experience of a true Business Class seat should choose a different destination. Beirut is served by the A320 fleet, thus standard short-haul seating.

5g) Last Resort at Year-End: Converting Miles into Points

If only a few Qualifying Points are missing at the end of the qualification period, miles can be converted into Status Points via the Lufthansa credit card. A maximum of 100 Points and QPs can be obtained for 25,000 miles. The exchange rate is painful, but it can help secure an otherwise lost status.

Alternative: FTL Status Completely Without Points via Uptrip

In addition to all these strategies, there is a completely different way to achieve Frequent Traveller status. Without any Status Points or Qualifying Points.

Through the Miles & More Uptrip app, FTL status can currently be unlocked via a special collection. Instead of points, collected cards from flown segments and promotions count. The flights also do not need to have been completed within a single year.

This approach is particularly interesting for:

• Frequent flyer beginners without an existing status
• Travelers who cannot meet the status point requirements
• Travelers with limited flight frequency or mainly short-haul flights

👉 Here you can find the detailed step-by-step guide to FTL status with Uptrip, including calculation examples, pitfalls, and current updates.

Conclusion: Reaching Frequent Traveller Status

There is no single perfect path to Lufthansa Frequent Traveller status. The most efficient approach strongly depends on:

• which flights are already planned anyway
• how flexible you are in terms of time and geography
• and when the status is actually needed

Those who plan in a structured way and combine different approaches can significantly reduce both the required effort and costs. For beginners without any status, the Uptrip approach in particular currently represents an exceptionally simple alternative.

With a slight holiday delay, I want to share the last Uptrip news of 2025: new collections and free Uptrip cards for Christmas.

Free Uptrip Cards for Christmas

As last year, Uptrip is giving out free cards for Christmas. Randomly, two city cards, one airplane card, and one airline card are generated. Users can choose a total of two cards. These cards are created as original cards.

In addition, the Uptrip Christmas giveaway should not be overlooked. On top of the cards, participants can win €500 and 5×€100 Lufthansa travel vouchers.

For achieving the Frequent Traveler status (FTL) with Lufthansa (Miles & More Silver), this Christmas promotion is a great opportunity. It currently saves one flight. However, you need to hurry. The offer ends on December 28, 2025.

1. Miles Shopper

With the “Miles Shopper” collection, Uptrip offers up to 20% mileage discount at the Lufthansa Worldshop. The discount applies to a wide range of products on worldshop.eu and in selected Worldshop stores in Germany and Austria.

The Worldshop is known for pricing at the higher end. Therefore, even a 20% mileage discount does not automatically mean a bargain. There are also frequent promotions and discounts directly from the Worldshop. Therefore, this Uptrip promotion seems not to be a very attractive deal.

Only 2 cards are needed for this collection.

2. Travel in Style

This collection targets travelers looking for a new suitcase. Uptrip offers 15% off luggage at the Worldshop, online and in stores in Germany and Austria.

Again, the products are high quality but usually priced above similar alternatives in the open market. The discount makes the purchase a bit sweeter but does not replace a comprehensive price comparison.

A total of 3 cards are required for this collection.

3. Swiss Lightness

The “Swiss Lightness” Uptrip offer again features Airportr. Upon completion, users receive a 50 CHF voucher for the luggage pick-up and check-in service from Airportr for SWISS flights to or from Switzerland.

The service is convenient and especially attractive for travelers with heavy luggage or early flights. However, the target group is limited due to the restriction to SWISS flights and the geographical connection to Switzerland. For these users, the voucher is genuinely valuable.

A total of 8 cards are needed, of which only 3 must be original. 75 redemptions are possible.

4. Finest Spirits

The new collections conclude with a premium gin tasting event on February 26 at Frankfurt Airport. Participants gain exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into airline catering, followed by a guided tasting of selected spirits.

Unfortunately, the number of participants was very limited, and the collection was immediately sold out. This also demonstrates the high interest of Uptrip users in exclusive events and offers. Dear Uptrip team: please provide more of these!

Uptrip Christmas Promotion – Conclusion

As hoped in the previous article, Uptrip launched something new at the end of the year. In my mind, the Christmas promotion with free original cards is clearly the highlight for collectors and status hunters.

The new collections are partly convincing. The exclusive event stands out most clearly. Hopefully, next year Uptrip can again create special offers for the community alongside the medium-level partner deals and the always welcome miles and points.

The Uptrip December 2025 collections: this time, the offers are released unusually early in the month. As usual, we classify the offers in the Miles & More app.

Four Uptrip December 2025 Collections

Uptrip is focusing the four offers on partners. Back in August, we looked at potential improvements to the app and pointed out the small partner network. Therefore, we are pleased to see that something is happening here.

1. Shuttle to the Gate

With Flibco, Uptrip has found a partner that offers airport transfers. For the current collection, you receive a 10% voucher. This is not applicable for transfers to London airports. To redeem it, you only need any card — it doesn’t even have to be an original card.

After a brief check, it becomes clear that Flibco frequently distributes 10% vouchers and sometimes even higher ones. In this respect, the offer appears rather unattractive. It might even be paid advertising by Flibco.

2. World of Attractions

It’s similar with this new Uptrip December 2025 collection. With “World of Attractions,” you receive a 12% promo code for the booking platform for museums and attractions called “Tiqets.” Again, only a non-original card is required. The voucher is not valid for all offers on the website.

As with the “Shuttle to the Gate” collection, this may be a promotional partnership. Tiqets regularly offers discount codes online independently of Uptrip, and the 12% offered here is among the better deals — at least as far as we can judge from a quick check.

3. Effortless Travel

With Airportr Germany, Uptrip has secured the third partner for the new collections. By redeeming this reward, you receive a voucher for collecting your checked baggage for Lufthansa or Discover Airlines flights departing from Frankfurt. Pickup must also take place within Frankfurt (possibly including adjacent regions). There are a total of 200 vouchers. Each person can receive only one. Out of 8 cards required, 4 must be original cards.

The offer may indeed be interesting for travelers with a lot of luggage in and around Frankfurt. Overall, however, the target group seems rather narrowly defined due to the restrictions.

4. Always Online

The Uptrip December 2025 collections are rounded off with a Wi-Fi voucher for continental flights. It is redeemable on flights operated by Lufthansa (+ City Airlines) as well as Austrian Airlines.

The Wi-Fi voucher has become something of a classic in Uptrip. This time, however, it seems more like a filler, added because there was no other exciting reward available for December.

The Uptrip December 2025 Collections Disappoint

Towards the end of the year, Miles & More seems to be running out of steam – or at least ideas – for Uptrip. The new offers sound partly like promotional deals with partners from which Uptrip might even profit. From the users’ perspective, that would be fine if the offers were at least attractive. We can only hope that the December collections were released too early because Uptrip is saving something for the big finale at the end of the year.

With that, we wish you a wonderful pre-Christmas season and look forward to a fresh start in the coming year.
