Dormant points Advice?
 

Hi Flyers,

I used to travel a lot for work and I haven't in the past 18 months or so. Well, I find mindself with about 24K in AA points and 24K in Delta points. They both expire about the first of the year. Would it be smart to just buy 1K of points on both and get a couple of $100 gift cards through Points.com? I could transfer over some Hilton Honors points to put me above the 25K bench mark that Points.com requires for gift cards, or is there a better option to try and get something out of these dormant points?

Any advice is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Dustin

You need to be careful that what you do is a valid method of earning or using ff miles. Look at the AA & DL web sites

Look and ask here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...solidated.html

Thank you good sir or madam (I couldn't find in your social profile if you were male or female). You directed me to the exact info and insight I was looking for!
