70k miles expiring soon. Any idea what to do?
I have 70k points in account expiring March. It seem like booking a business or first class to Asia is nearly impossible. (I can transfer more miles from my AMEX) but I just don’t want to transfer over more miles until I know for sure I can use them.
my schedule can be flexible. I have looked for seats that were newly released 11 month ahead, no luck finding any. I need two tickets.
LAX - Tokyo
or
LAX - PVG
Gathering from what I read getting 2 seats from waitlist is pretty impossible?
Since I need to book round trip tickets. I have to find a seat for the return trip first if I’m looking at newly release tickets?
any suggestions on how can I not waste the 70k miles?
We moved from SPG to Amex MR few years ago when SPG was bought by Marriott. Husband said Ana was supposed to be easy to book and with lower redemptions. Then covid happened, we couldn’t go anywhere. When I finally start looking into traveling again, I realized Ana is extremely difficult. Now we have so much MR points, not sure what to do with it.
Thank you in advance for any help!
