Today it’s finally here: Uptrip has released its new September 2025 collections with Qualifying Points and more. After the last collections went live on August 14, Miles & More continues to follow the roughly monthly rhythm for new releases. Additionally, it’s noticeable that the Uptrip team is increasingly using Instagram between collections to run smaller campaigns, like the recent mini-game accompanying the “Friends-Fly-Higher” promotion, in order to boost interaction and maintain engagement between collections.
As before, we at Scantofly.de have taken a closer look at the new collections:
1. Ready for Takeoff
Reward: 20 Points and 20 Qualifying Points (redeemable up to 5 times, €15 per redemption)
This is a true highlight for collectors aiming for FTL or Senator status. For just 8 cards—5 of which are originals—you can complete this collection. The required cards are relatively common: Frankfurt, Munich, 3 other cities of your choice, and one aircraft each from Lufthansa, Swiss, and Austrian.
The redemption can be done up to 5 times, giving a total of 100 Points and 100 Qualifying Points. These QPs also count toward Lifetime Senator status. However, each additional redemption costs €14.99, meaning a full collection of points costs an extra €60.
At roughly €0.60 per QP, this is still an excellent deal. On the path to Lufthansa Senator status (2,000 Points & 1,000 QPs), this collection is an attractive supplement—providing 5% of the necessary Points and 10% of the necessary QPs, especially useful if you are short on points at year-end. For the Frequent Travellor Status Uptrip offers even a better alternative.
2. Jet Set on Wheels
Reward: Aluminium Business Wheeler (rolling suitcase)
The “Jet Set on Wheels” collection required a whopping 18 cards, including 13 originals. With Tokyo and Johannesburg as mandatory cards, it wasn’t easy to complete quickly, which seems to have increased its appeal: the collection sold out in record time. A travel companion reward for those who were fast enough.
3. Austrian Timeless Travels
Reward: Austrian Airlines Retro-Design Shoulder Bag
A touch of nostalgia: the “Austrian Timeless Travels” collection required 14 cards, 12 of which were originals. The reward was an exclusive Austrian shoulder bag by TITAN—designed in a classic style and finished with Austrian Airlines’ original 1956 logo. A perfect blend of functionality and airline history.
Only three hours after release, the limited edition appears to be selling out fast.
Update: We need to slightly revise our assessment of the availability of this Miles & More offer. Three days after the launch of the new collection, interest in the bag appears to have declined, and there are still around 10 bags available.
Fazit zu den Uptrip Kollektionen im September
The September Uptrip collections are impressive and surpass much of what we’ve seen in recent months. The “Ready for Takeoff” collection, especially with the new €14.99 re-redemption option, could bring fresh dynamics to collecting and redeeming—likely attracting many new users. With “Jet Set on Wheels” and “Austrian Timeless Travels,” Uptrip successfully appeals to brand fans, as the rapid redemptions clearly show.
