Episode Description
Have you ever felt like you were doing points “wrong” because you aren’t booking the same kinds of high-value redemptions that you see other people posting about? Maybe you’ve run an award search and found potential travel options that you could use points to book, but you became paralyzed because you weren’t sure whether they are actually a good deal.
If you’re scared of wasting your points so you just don’t use them to book travel, despite having hundreds of thousands of points saved up, you are not alone. These are common scenarios, and I’m addressing all of them in today’s episode by showing you how to get the highest possible points redemption value.
Tune in this week to discover how to calculate exactly how much value you’re getting from your points from each redemption. You’ll learn how to spot a great deal, compare your options, and ditch all the indecision and insecurity that’s stopping you from using your points to book phenomenal travel experiences.
