Any recent experiences with this? I'm looking to use points to offset the cost of 3 business class tickets. Of course, just under a year out, there is already no award availability. One can't tell what the reduction in fare is until you apply the 5,000 point increments. I was planning to transfer a bunch of Citi Thankyou points for this transaction, but as of now, do not have points in my account. I'm not going to speculatively transfer a ton of points if it isn't going to bring the fare down to a reasonable cost. Thanks in advance.
