Here are 3 things points and miles experts know—and that you should learn:
First, let’s talk about what makes a points currency flexible. It’s really quite simple. A currency is considered to be flexible if it can be transferred to more than one airline or hotel loyalty program.
When trying to book a trip, you may search four different airlines and only find the three seats you need available on one. You may find that out of the six hotel programs in the city you are traveling to, only three have base rooms available for redemption on your travel dates. If you have the wrong type of points, you won’t be able to use miles and points for your trip.
While it’s true that the same goes for hotels, it’s not necessarily the best use of your transferable points. You can find the available hotel room, and transfer your flexible points over to that hotel program’s currency, but you’ll generally get much more value from your flexible points by transferring to airline partners instead of hotel programs.
Extending your layover is a great way to get a quick taste of a city. Spend a day there on a layover and you’ll often be able to decide if it’s a place you want to return to later. Even a 12- hour layover will give you enough time to leave the airport, grab some local food and see a few memorable sights.A stopover is just a super-extended layover. They function in the same way.
Open jaws are a perfect way to add another location or two onto your trip. They work especially well when you can easily travel between two destinations on your own or position to or from your home airport at the beginning or end of your trip. The reason that you need to know this is that many people have very strong opinions. As you participate in forums and online groups, you will inevitably see someone tell another person that they are using their points incorrectly. You may see several people shaming someone for using their points for flights in economy class. You may see people saying that others are wasting their points by booking through a fixed value portal.
