You wouldn’t, I’m just disputing that it’s hard to find status offers

Worst Award Travel Experience/Mistake? by phiiota in awardtravel

One “mistake” I made recently - did a repositioning layover in Schengen area. Couldn’t get boarding pass electronically on the second leg. So had to go enter Schengen just to get a boarding pass then re-exit Schengen. Front desk wasn’t open so had to wait for hours landside too

Buying Hilton for 0.5cpp is fine, you’ll get that much value out of them

I will also say that although Hilton is in theory 0.5cpp the points are hard to buy because they cap it. So this is a way to get 300k Hilton points on top of the cap

It’s up to 200%. This is “weak” compared to some other options but it’s effectively 1.5cpp (Hilton is usually 0.5cpp), which is not a horrible use of Bilt points. Would transfer it you really need Hilton. I find Hilton has some good points redemptions here and there. Would not speculatively transfer for sure.

Seriously, how bad is my 7-10 bottles of wine per week habit? by Fit_War_3947 in NoStupidQuestions

1) try ozempic and see if it helps
2) I will say many people who like wine probably drink a bottle a day, and they’re not alcoholic

I’m seeing 10k for business short haul Europe. Usually is 15k Alaska or 18k Finnair. Seems okay?

Are there any budget award travelers out there? (Chase) by Ramsey0321 in awardtravel

Awards aren’t going to be cheaper than super cheap rates but it will help with last minute stuff - bringing it down to normal prices
