Well I have to go to Geneva in a few weeks. Should I pay $1100 for the San Diego-Geneva economy fare or should I somehow buy points and use those?

Help.

It will cost you more to buy miles from the Airlines. Even after you purchased those 50,000 miles - the minimum required to fly you in economy - it is very hard to find award seats to Europe. Summer is a high season and award seats are hard to find.
