Too bad this didn’t start one week ago – before Flying BLue did their “Promo Award” deal. I transferred a pile of Chase URs to FB to redeem on that…oh well.
I did the same to get a jump on the deal. No luck with the redemption either.
Just an annoyance. I’ll take what I can get…
How can i use this Bonus deals to transfer my points and get a Deal to fly to India?
I want to visit India once, and fly in either Business or First class…..But Enormous taxes ($600 to $800) with Flying Blue program or Aeroplan almost kill the deal compared to Lower Taxes with United/AA which are less than $100.
