Hi

Mypoints used to be a great scheme for earning points ( I accrued 20,000 in six months).

I say used to for a reason.

The carrot was that you could redeem 20,000 points for 25,000 American Aadvantage miles. Unfortunately this redemption award has been discontinued as of the end of April.



You can still redeem points for Alaska airlines miles or Hilton Honours points but there is not much value in the exchange rates.

I won't be accruing any more points until such time as a new miles partner is found for which I can exchange points for miles on a 1 - 1 basis. Otherwise IMHO it's just not worth it.

I still thankful for the miles I was able to accrue however. Mypoints is still a great way to get free points - it's just that the award end of the scheme has become lesss attractive.

cheers Peter
