WHAT ARE POINT REDEMPTIONS?

Point redemptions are when you use your points to pay for a flight or hotel. If you have flexible points, you will need to transfer those points from your credit card account into the airline or hotel account before making your booking.

What is a redemption rate?

The ratio of the dollar value to the travel reward points or miles being redeemed 

The key to optimized redemption is finding better than average redemption rates 

1. Options will be mediocre (cheap hotels and economy flights)
2. It takes too many points to book a flight or hotel
3. No availability
