20,000 AA miles converted into 2,000 ClickMiles or America West FlightFund Miles? This is the present reality of the Pointsxchange program at Points.com.

Personally, I do not know of any FTer who would take advantage of this kind of exchange rate. I really had big hopes for this new concept, however the exchange rates are very disappointing. I can see their business model loud and clear, it simply will not be accomplished at my personal expense from my frequent traveler accounts...at least not at those exchange rates!

Also, I noticed there were several combinations that were not authorized...like AA and AC for example.

This is a site that has a tremendous amount of work to do. They really need to commence by making the exchange rates "real" instead of "ripoffs." A one mile for one tenth of a mile exchange is ridiculous...I do not even like the idea of a half a mile for a mile.

I based my calculations on their calculator on their web site. Perhaps they were not programed correctly...if they were correct and I could only receive 2,000 ClickMiles for 20,000 AAdvantage miles, I do not see much of a future for this site.

Take a look at this web site at http://www.points.com and please give me your input.

Thank you very much.
