One thing we do is use miles (most of our miles are on Southwest) to get to a place we can leave on a bigger trip from at less expense. Example-Emirates to South Africa was a great price but far more from SFO vs JFK so we used miles to get to JFK and Emirates on to SA.<br />I have a hard time with the kids miles as well. I usually try to use them on little quickie trips to San Diego from the Bay Area.<br />Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635075866006606504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-2464223756981310692017-09-07T09:36:52.815-07:002017-09-07T09:36:52.815-07:00Oh, I'm a novice!

There are apparently message board on this stuff, and people go through super elaborate plans to leverage credit card offers. <br /><br />I'm trying to sort out how to use the kids miles. I think I can do it, but it requires breaking up the reservations & is just generally a hassle. I was going to transfer all of the miles to my account, but they charge a fee, so that's out as well.<br /><br />I'm a platinum member of Starwood/Marriott/Ritz, so typically stay there. It's a preferred chain through work, so the one that I stay at the most. I also love the option of using points or cash!<br />Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-46903715768550666212017-09-07T07:59:03.041-07:002017-09-07T07:59:03.041-07:00You seem to be the master at this.

Then when you need to fly all together use yours? I don't know which hotel chains you like to stay at but Hilton is pretty good, they just changed their points program so it's way more flexible with use of points and dollars. Wish all of them would go to that.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
