ADVICE

Award Flights vs. Cash Back

Consider award flights over simple cashback redemptions for potentially higher value.
Compare redemption options through loyalty programs versus credit card portals.

INSIGHT

True Value of Points

Transferring points to partners often yields 6-12 times the value of credit card portals.
The real value of a flight is what you'd realistically pay, not inflated portal prices.

ADVICE

Best Value for Points

Domestic first/business class is generally not a good value with points, especially post-COVID.
International premium cabins and sometimes domestic economy offer better point value.
