Paris for two. Rome for six. Tokyo in first class.
Points pay for the cabin. Judgment chooses the hotel, the room, and the table. We bring both. These are examples, not a list. Tell us where you want to go.
Flights
Business and first class, on the routes people fly most. For the busiest dates, we start a year ahead.
Stays
Points pay for some of the best rooms too. When a stay is better paid for in cash, we say so.
Sample trips, at the points prices the airlines and hotels publish. They are examples, not quotes. The cash figures are what the same seat or room recently cost, and they move. "Each point is worth" is figured before taxes and fees, unless the card says otherwise. The family trip to Rome is priced for United cardholders. Marriott points are a different currency from card points and are worth less, so the Masai Mara figure does not compare with the others. Taxes and fees on tickets booked with points are yours, and we tell you what they are before you book.
We tell you when not to use points.
New York to Palm Beach is the usual example. The seat often costs a few hundred dollars, and your points are worth more across an ocean. Pay for it on the right card, earn on it, and save the balance for July.
Some days it goes the other way. Over the holidays, a domestic first class seat was selling for close to $1,500. We booked it for 25,000 points. We check every time, and tell you which way it falls.
