Star Alliance member TAP Air Portugal offers double status miles for TAP flights flown until September 30, booked until July 31, 2022. It’s important to note that Miles+Cash bookings (for example, using the €10-€20 discount when booking for the first time) do not qualify for double status miles.
TAP gives status and bonus miles after each flight depending on the fare class and the distance flown. You can see the estimated miles earned when booking a trip on TAP’s website. Status bonuses do not count into the promotion. The extra miles will be added together with the standard earnings at max ten working days after the flights.
TAP Miles & Go Program
TAP has two elite status levels: Silver (equals to Star Alliance Silver), and Gold (Star Alliance Gold). To reach Silver, you need 30,000 status miles or 25 TAP flights. To maintain it, you’ll need 20,000 status miles or 15 flights. To reach Gold, you’ll either need to collect 70,000 status miles or fly TAP 50 times. Maintaining it requires 50,000 status miles or 40 TAP flights.
As mentioned above, TAP calculates your earnings by multiplying the flown miles by the percentage of your fare. This image shows you what percentage yan you count with for each fare.
TAP Gold will get you the following benefits:
- Additional Free Bags (20kg or an additional checked bag). Some light fares are excluded.
- Priority check-in
- Lounge access for you and a guest
- Priority boarding
- Priority baggage handling
- Waiting list priority
- On Tap Flights:
- 50% mileage bonus
- Discount for someone travelling with you
- Free same-day-changes on
LIS ↔ FNC,LIS ↔ OPO, andLIS ↔ MAD(except light fares) - Free EconomyXtra seat selection (more legroom)
Silver would get you fewer advantages, but could be interesting if you only fly TAP:
- Waiting list priority
- On TAP flights:
- Exclusive customer service
- 25% mileage bonus
- Priority check-in
- Limited lounge access
- Standard seat reservation
- Priority boarding and fast track at some airports

Last year someone told me that he couldn’t get in the lounge with his TAP FFP because they apparently didn’t pay the bill. Seems like a possible scenario to me. This airline is just such bad news. I’ve had many shitty experiences with them and now even starting my first legal action to get delay compensation from them since they just do not answer at all.
My advice: just stay away from them, no matter how attractive their promos seem.
