Example:
BA = Best use is for south america flights from USA (Ex: 80K NYC to Lima in J). Or ... bad idea for Europe flights due to high fuel charges.
SPG points = best use to upgrade hotel stays.
UA/CO = Good for Africa trips, europe, etc
DELTA = JFK to Israel good routings, etc.
AA = should be your number one choice for USA to Asia (Thailand) on CX.
AudienceRewards = Great to transfer to US Airways at 1:2 transfer rate.
I mean, just good info on each program so that people understand better the value of points in each program and how they can get the best use out of it.
I don't have enough knowledge in this field to do a quality sticky but I am sure other folks here can do this.
Let's just figure out who can do this, make it a one post and get it up there.
I think it makes more sense to arrange it by location/activity. For example, if you want to travel to X look to accumulate miles in Y or Z.
I am a big believer that the best use of miles is specific to each person and can't necessarily be put in a sticky.
