  • I have 135,000 points on my amex platinum. & 2 free nights in Dubai. Rookie with miles. Anyone point me in right direction please? . 85k on chase sapphire preferred. Thank you. Looking for about a week long trip.

  • Massive hassle to refund EK award tickets... I had to cancel a booking recently and the miles still have not come back weeks later.

    • Be sure to push hard for a supervisor. Was able to upgrade my wife on flight over to MXP, but flights back Italian agent had no idea and kept telling us there no seats. Finally I go to a supervisor to find out there were in fact 2 seats, that had just been snapped up. J seats were meh

  • I have a bad feeling that 2022 will be the year of devaluations. Everyone has so many points saved up and travel is quickly approaching historical norms

    • Agree, very underwhelming and bad customer service by desk agents, including not knowing how to upgrade with miles
