Some of you guys have gone nuts for Flexperks points in the last couple of years. I feel the same way. This currency has been a great backup for “regular” miles that KEEP. GETTING. LESS. VALUABLE. Anyway, a few of you felt the chart would change and now it’s official. Here’s the deal…
Instead of burning 20,000 points for a $400 flight, it’s going to become “simplified.” You’ll be redeeming for a flat 1.5 cents per point on car rentals, hotel stays, and flights.
If you don’t like it, start booking flights before the end of the year. Any points burned before December 31st will be on the old chart.
My thoughts? I’ve got a decent-sized stash of these and am definitely a little bummed. I really enjoy the game of finding flights as close to $400 or $600 as possible. But as changes go, I’ve definitely seen worse. I’m happy we got a little notice on this one. So, yeah, I’ll be booking some flights in the next 5 months.
