Accumulating points while trying to hit a moving target
 

My biggest gripe about TrueBlue is never knowing how many points I need for a redemption.

I've been focused on a trip to San Jose, Costa Rica. A month ago, on the exact same day I reached the sufficient number of points in my account for a redemption, it crept up from 12,600 each way to 13,200. Another 10 days later it moved up to 14,800.

I'm looking at a variety of dates at the very end of their availability calendar in early 2016. Quite frustrating when I'm looking to redeem for 3 tickets...it ends up being a substantial jump in points needed.

Okay, I feel better now, got that off my chest!

Welcome to the world of revenue-based redemption. If the fares drop you'll save a few points. Win some, lose some.

Same issue here. I just factor in a 'safety buffer' of xxxxx miles and hope that covers any fare increases. As the other poster said, welcome to revenue-based redemption. But it is what it is.....

If you link a Facebook /Twitter account to your badges, it's an easy way to get a ton of extra points...if you haven't already done so :)

That's how I got hooked on B6 to begin. :p
