You know what’s more worthless than SkyPesos? Redeeming AS MP on AS metal a lot of the time. Hello one cent per mile! MileagePesos!

I know, I know, you’re supposed to redeem them for premium cabins on SQ, oh wait that’s been broken for ages, I mean JL, whoops, all that inventory gets snapped up way before T-330, I mean QR, wait, most of that’s gone too? JX I guess if you book no later than midnight the day availability posts, wait two minutes and it’s gone?

I still get value out of MP but I get value out of SkyPesos and Rapid Rewards too. And given the takeaways on Saver + lower elites losing some RDM earning I feel very much in a “loyalty, lol, time to be loyal to my wallet” mood.
