Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?

Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.

Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

This discussion has done the rounds before (if you could be bothered to find the link ..... 'coz I can't), but some things bear repeating.

If my company was to lay claim to all points and SC's generated by my travel (including CC points) then I would only impose 2 conditions. The first would be that all travel was to be completed between the hours of 8:30 to 17:30 as that is what they pay me for. And I would also need to be at my home each Friday evening and not be required to leave it until Monday morning.

So any overseas trip could be of 3 days duration only (Monday & Friday would be travelling days) and could extend no further than SEA due to flight durations.

The reality is that my company makes no such claim and so I am willing to fly out of Sydney this Saturday morning and return next Sunday morning, so that I can spend a full week in Houston. My recompense is to use personal + works points toward a couple of award tickets to the UK every other year (saving the family about $5K in airfares). If I worked it out per hour it would probably be about the right rate, so I guess you could say it is a kind of overtime payment.



Cheers,


Andrew

P.S. If you are on an AWA you are probably fecked, but serves you right for voting for the Tories.
