Transferring Livelo points to Azul Fidelidade is one of the most popular routes for anyone who wants to fly Azul paying in miles. The good news is the process is simple and the base ratio is generous. The part that demands strategy is the bonus: it changes almost every week, and if you transfer at the wrong time you leave a lot of value on the table. This guide explains the step by step, the points ratio, how the recurring bonus tiers work, the role of Clube Livelo and Clube Azul Fidelidade, deadlines and the mistakes that cost the most.
Points ratio: how much the transfer yields
The base ratio between the two programs is 1:1 — 1 Livelo point becomes 1 Azul Fidelidade point, with no bonus. This is the baseline from which every promotion is calculated. When you see a "100% bonus" offer, it means each transferred Livelo point becomes 2 Azul points; with an "80% bonus", 1,000 Livelo points become 1,800 Azul points, and so on.
Step by step
The whole flow is done on the Livelo side:
- Log in to your Livelo account and go to "Transfer points" or use the Azul partner page.
- Select Azul Fidelidade as the destination program.
- Enter your Azul Fidelidade membership number (confirm the CPF is the same holder — transfers are only to the same holder (same CPF)).
- Choose the number of points. The minimum is 1,000 Livelo points per transfer.
- Review the ratio and applied bonus before confirming.

Recurring bonuses: how the tiers work
Livelo → Azul promotions repeat almost every week, and the bonus is usually split into layers that stack. The advertised total ("up to X%") is the sum of the base tier plus the club add-ons. The typical tiers are:
| Tier | Who qualifies | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Base bonus | All customers | Campaign minimum, no club required |
| Intermediate bonus | Members of one club (Livelo or Azul Fidelidade) | Higher percentage than the base |
| Maximum bonus | Members of both clubs (Livelo + Azul Fidelidade) | The highest advertised percentage |
| Club-tenure add-on | Long-standing Clube Azul Fidelidade members | A few extra percentage points based on plan and tenure |
Clube Azul Fidelidade tenure add-on
Historically, long-standing Clube Azul Fidelidade subscribers earn a few extra percentage points on top of the campaign bonus. It usually scales with plan size and tenure: larger, older plans yield better add-ons. This add-on normally has its own annual cap of bonus points, so it is not unlimited. Check the conditions case by case.
Clube Livelo and Clube Azul Fidelidade: why they matter
Both subscription clubs completely change the transfer outcome.
Clube Livelo
- You buy monthly points at a discount, lowering the cost per thousand at the source.
- Subscribers usually get instant transfers and access to exclusive bonuses and campaigns.
- Combining Clube Livelo accrual with a high-bonus campaign is one of the cheapest ways to generate Azul miles.
Clube Azul Fidelidade
- You receive Azul points every month (plans such as 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000 points/month).
- Being a subscriber generally unlocks the maximum bonus tier in Livelo → Azul campaigns.
- Larger, longer-held plans grant the tenure add-on.
- Subscribers of high plans (and some Azul cards) usually get extended validity on bonus points.

Deadlines and validity
- Points credit: for club subscribers the transfer is usually instant. For others it may take a few days. The campaign bonus points are usually credited separately, within up to 15 business days after the transfer — confirm the deadline in the terms.
- Bonus points validity: bonus points usually have short validity, around 6 months. Subscribers of high Clube Azul Fidelidade plans and some cards may have longer validity. Don't transfer large volumes without a redemption in sight.
- Per-CPF limits: campaigns usually cap bonus points per CPF (often in the hundreds of thousands per year/campaign) and the club add-on has its own cap. Check before planning a high volume.
Cost per thousand after the transfer
The bonus drops your Azul cost per thousand. A simplified example: if you accrued Livelo points at an equivalent cost of R$20 per thousand and transferred with a 100% bonus, your Azul cost per thousand falls to about R$10, because each point became two. Add the real acquisition cost (spend, card, Clube Livelo, or purchased points) and run the numbers before redeeming.
When it is worth it vs when it isn't
✓ Worth it when
- There is a high active bonus (base + clubs + tenure stacked).
- You already have a redemption in sight and won't let points expire.
- You are a club subscriber and unlock the maximum tier.
- The final cost per thousand is competitive against the cash fare.
- You need a specific balance for a redemption you're just short of.
✕ Not worth it when
- The transfer is 1:1 with no bonus.
- You have no ticket to book and bonus points expire in 6 months.
- You would transfer "just because", with no defined destination.
- The resulting Azul cost per thousand is more expensive than buying the ticket outright.
- You would blow past the per-CPF bonus caps needlessly.
Common mistakes
- Transferring with no bonus: the most expensive mistake. Always wait for a campaign.
- Letting the bonus expire: transferring millions of points with no flight booked and watching the 6-month validity lapse.
- Ignoring the clubs: transferring at the base tier when subscribing to a club would jump you to the maximum tier.
- Wrong membership number: entering another holder's Azul Fidelidade number when the campaign only applies to your own CPF.
- Not reading the terms: per-CPF caps, bonus credit deadlines and validity rules change every campaign.
- Fixating on an old percentage: since numbers move, memorizing "the bonus is X%" leads to wrong decisions.
Practical yield examples
To make it clear how the bonus changes the result, here's how the same 50,000 Livelo points look across different tiers. The percentages below are illustrative only — always confirm the active bonus before deciding.
| Livelo points | Bonus | Azul points received |
|---|---|---|
| 50,000 | 0% (1:1 base) | 50,000 |
| 50,000 | 60% | 80,000 |
| 50,000 | 90% | 95,000 |
| 50,000 | 100% | 100,000 |
| 50,000 | 120% | 110,000 |
Notice how big the gap is between transferring at base and at 120%: 60,000 extra Azul points for the same Livelo balance. That is exactly why the patience to wait for the right campaign usually beats any shortcut.
Strategy: building the ideal cycle
Those who get the most out of this route work in cycles, not in one-off transfers. A routine that works well:
- Accrue in Livelo all year: use cards that earn Livelo points, the Clube Livelo program and accrual promotions (Livelo often runs extra-points campaigns with partners and on cards).
- Subscribe to the clubs in advance: the Clube Azul Fidelidade tenure add-on only appears for members who have been subscribed for months. If you plan to transfer a high volume, subscribing early unlocks the highest tiers when the campaign arrives.
- Wait for the right campaign: monitor offers and transfer when the total bonus (base + clubs + tenure) is at the top of the historical curve.
- Transfer with a destination in sight: because of the short bonus validity, ideally have the redemption planned or very close.
- Redeem and repeat: after redeeming, restart accrual in Livelo for the next cycle.
Livelo → Azul vs other routes
Livelo transfers to several airline programs, and the decision to send points to Azul depends on where you'll fly. Azul's network is strong in Brazil's interior and in cities other carriers don't serve well, which often makes an Azul award the only practical option — and then the bonus only improves a cost that would already be worth it. On busy capital-to-capital routes, compare the resulting Azul cost per thousand with other programs before deciding where to send your Livelo points. The yardstick is always the cost per thousand on the redemption you actually want to make, not the bonus percentage in isolation.
Cards that help you accrue
To feed your Livelo account (and some directly into Azul Fidelidade), premium cards speed up accrual. Look at the Bradesco Aeternum Visa Infinite, the C6 Carbon, the Azul Itaú Skyline, the Azul Visa Infinite and the BB Altus Visa Infinite. Azul co-branded cards, besides earning points, usually bring perks within the program itself (such as extended points validity and club advantages), reinforcing the whole strategy.
Points + cash (top-up transfer)
In some campaigns Livelo lets you transfer points + cash: you top up your balance by paying an amount in reais to reach the desired total and still earn the bonus on the whole. This can be useful when you're just short of a redemption and the final cost per thousand (including the cash portion) stays competitive. Run the numbers with the miles calculator: if the effective cost per thousand of that top-up is high, it's not worth it.
Summary
The Livelo → Azul route is 1:1 at the base, with a 1,000-point minimum, and shines during the bonus campaigns that repeat very frequently. The secret is to accrue in Livelo, wait for a high-bonus campaign (stacking base + clubs + Clube Azul Fidelidade tenure), transfer only with a destination in sight and always check the current percentage and terms before confirming. Done right, you fly Azul at a cost per thousand far below the cash price.
