I’m more interested in the throwaway line because I’d actually like to take my balance down as close to zero as possible pre-March “we’re nuking the award charts” devaluation, and turning a 50k FNC into points might help with that (depending on how many points I’d get)… so how does this work? I tried a search and came up blank, and I’m a noob to the FNC game, apologies if this is a dumb question. Or is the author mixing this up with Hyatt (where I know they let expiring certs go to points sometimes)?
