But you lose your points if you change your flight right? Not sure I am too excited about risking 100 PPs when there is a good change I will have to change plans due to restrictions that pop up.
1. 100PP one-way feels like PP usery to me. Can't even do a single RT for a couple (400PP) with the annual 1K allotment (320PP). Unless you're flying on absolute peak days, I wouldn't waste StWL PPs. These APAC flights will be like off-peak transcons flying 777-300ERs during Covid -- everyone clears the upgrade list!

2. StWL PPs are automatically returned to the account if the reservation is cancelled, regardless of reason.
