GOL's Smiles now sells miles at up to 12 times what you earned last year
The new Multiplique Milhas tool in the Smiles app lets members buy 3, 6, 9 or 12 times recent earnings. The miles post within 72 hours and expire after one year, reports say.
Smiles, the loyalty program of Brazil's GOL airline, has launched a paid tool that multiplies the miles you earned over the past year. The feature is called Multiplique Milhas, which means "multiply miles." It lets members buy 3, 6, 9 or 12 times the miles from recent earning, right in the Smiles app. In plain terms, it is a new way to buy miles, priced off your own activity.
Smiles launched the feature on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, according to Brazilian travel trade site Mercado & Eventos. Points site Passageiro de Primeira published the steps and a sample price the same day.
How the multiplier works#
The tool looks at miles you earned across the Smiles program in the last 12 months. You pick one or more of those earning transactions in your account history. Then you choose a factor, and Smiles shows a price for the new miles.
The four factors, per the reports, are:
| Factor | New miles on a 1,000-mile earning |
|---|---|
| 3x | 3,000 |
| 6x | 6,000 |
| 9x | 9,000 |
| 12x | 12,000 |
The numbers in the right column are simple math on a 1,000-mile example, not Smiles prices. You pay for the new miles. The miles you already earned stay in your account as they were.
What it costs#
Smiles has not published a fixed rate. Mercado & Eventos says prices, rules, eligibility, purchase limits and posting times are shown in the app and on the official Smiles page.
Passageiro de Primeira showed one example. A 1,499-mile earning, multiplied by 12, produced 17,988 new Smiles miles for R$386.74. That works out to R$21.50 per 1,000 miles. Momento Viagem reported the same app simulation from Nov. 9. Your price may differ, so check your own quote.
Momento Viagem also reported that the app allows payment in up to 12 installments with the GOL Smiles card, or up to 5 with other cards.
How to use it#
Passageiro de Primeira lists these steps:
- Open the appsign in to the Smiles app
- Find your historyopen your points statement
- Tap Multiplique agorathis starts the multiplier

The reports say the new miles post within 72 hours and are valid for one year.
The one-year catch#
That one-year life is the key limit. Miles bought this way need a plan. If you buy more than you need, the extra could expire before you find a good award.
Momento Viagem suggests a careful approach. Use the tool when you are a little short for an award you have already found. Compare the cost of the miles, plus award taxes, with the cash fare. Also keep in mind that award prices can change during the up to 72 hours before the miles post.
Ricardo Faustino, a business director at Smiles, said the tool "starts from something our customer has already achieved." He added that the goal is to "recognize the loyal traveler." His quotes were given in Portuguese and are translated here.
Why it matters outside Brazil#
GOL is getting more attention from U.S. travelers. On Nov. 10, Alaska Airlines' Atmos Rewards named GOL a new partner, with Atmos redemptions on GOL planned for early 2027. Smiles itself is still the main way to earn and spend miles on GOL's own network today.
Smiles members who are not in Brazil should check if they can see the tool at all. The reports describe it as an app feature and do not say whether it is open to accounts outside Brazil.
What to do now#
If you collect Smiles miles, open the app and look for Multiplique agora in your statement. Run a quote, then divide the price by the new miles to get your cost per 1,000. Buy only when you have a specific award in mind that you can book within the year.
