15. The Value of Transferable Points Currencies

Point Me To First Class

Earlier this month, United Airlines increased its award prices across the board for economy and business class flights on United and partner-operated international flights without any advanced notice to its frequent flyer program members. After this points devaluation, it now costs roughly 33% to 55% more points for any award flight booked through United. The worst part of this news is that United points aren't transferable.

Discover how to protect yourself from points devaluations by leveraging transferable points. I'm showing you how to keep your options open when accumulating awards-travel points, how to see whether you will be disproportionately affected by a points devaluation, and how you can act now to protect yourself against the instability of points as a currency.
