TAP Air Portugal Miles&Go

Star Alliance awards on a chart that lags Aeroplan/LifeMiles — TPG's quantified business redemption lands ~1.3¢, economy under 1¢. No TAP metal to India and no Indian card feeds it; the only ways in are hotel hops (Bonvoy 3:1 with the 60k bonus, Accor 2:1, IHG 5:1). ₹1/mile anchor with an honest floor.

Nerf risk: stable No tracker events on record for this program

Expiry: hard 3 years from accrual — and some bonus/promo miles die in 12 months

Floor = the worst redemption you can always fall back on; ceiling = the best sweet-spot exit. The house value is what a disciplined traveller actually clears.
