With the current triple points offer, I am deciding whether to pay cash, or use my points for a MEL-OOL trip.
I am tossing up the following options.
1. Getaway fare $142.64 (using discount code, get triple points and possibly 2.1% Cashrewards)
2. Elevate fare $161.65 (using discount code, get triple points, platinum 100% bonus and possibly 2.1% Cashrewards)
3. Freedom fare $258.68 (using discount code, get triple points, platinum 100% bonus and possibly 2.1% Cashrewards)
4. Freedom fare as per No. 3, and use my complementary J upgrade.
5. Y Reward 11,800 points + $25.52 in taxes
6. J Reward 23,500 points + $27.72 in taxes
7. Anyseat Getaway fare 19,300 + $33.25 in taxes (get triple points)
8. Anyseat Elevate fare 22,400 + $35.06 in taxes (get triple points and platinum 100% bonus)
9. Anyseat Freedom fare 39,900 + $45.61 in taxes (get triple points and platinum 100% bonus)
Considerations:
a. Anniversary date is in Jan 2020.
b. Do not plan to retain platinum and will just soft land to gold
c. Travelling in J would be nice, but for a 2 hour journey, I have no problem in YX.
d. Will not have a chance to use the 4 complementary J upgrades if I don't use it this time, but don't feel like paying Freedom just to use the upgrades.
e. Planning to go to CNS sometime in the next 12 months. Better off just flying in Y this time and book J return when travelling to CNS?
f. Multiply the above by 2 as +1 and I are travelling. He is silver.
ARRRGGGHHH... so many choices... Can someone help me narrow down my options?
