Anyone got better ideas?
After United and Hyatt's devaluation, they aren't worth as much to me anymore. Following Southwest's upcoming devaluation, they will be worth even less.
That said, you can find good value with United if you fly United's planes instead of their partners and Hyatt still has some good value.
British Airways Avios have good value if you need domestic flights but since you have many Southwest points, it's not as applicable since they are good for domestic flights.
