One of my favorite things to do is answer Going members’ points and miles questions! So this week, I thought I’d reach into the mailbag and answer some.
Some questions are answered below, but check out our
guide page for answers to more.
Do you have a burning points and miles question?
Ask us, and we may answer it in a future newsletter.
Is it better to use my points on flights or hotels? – Doriel
In general, you’re going to get a better value for your points when you transfer to airline partners over hotel partners.
Why? Two reasons: First, most hotel chains have inflated the amount of points required for a redemption.
Second, you will have better luck with a hotel co-branded credit card. Redeem the hotel card’s points for a night’s stay.
Plus, many hotel cards offer some level of elite status, which can provide benefits such as complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, and potentially even a free night.
