Episode notes
Trust Frays Fast In Points Communities
- The recent Citi points controversy shows how quickly information and trust break down in the miles community.
- Influencers or sources may be wrong or untrusted, so act cautiously when reacting to rumors.
Pause Before Panic Transfers
- Avoid emotional, knee-jerk transfers when you think points might be at risk; pause, breathe, and reassess within a day or week.
- Use the extra time to compare options instead of immediately transferring large balances.
Evaluate Transfers Before Cashing Out
- If you urgently need to liquidate ThankYou points, consider alternatives to straight cash outs to avoid leaving value on the table.
- Evaluate award transfer partners like AA, LHW, and I Prefer before accepting a low-value cash redemption.
