It took this guy a week to book Alaska Airline tickets using Korean Air points, involving multiple emails, calls, etc. That would drive me insane, not to mention that I'd probably mess something up.
In contrast, you can
immediately use Korean Air points to book Korean Air flights online.
I'm no expert, and maybe other airlines are slightly easier. But going through each of them trying to figure out their individual rules takes time too.
