First of all, a big thanks to you for putting out all this useful information on your site. Really appreciated.
Would love to get your expert input on my itinerary. And to see if I can squeeze further value out of this –
Outbound: JFK-SFO-HNL-ICN-REP (HNL as a 3 day stop-over)
Return: BKK-FRA-EWR
Miles used – 650000
Taxes: 88.61
I would have preferred to snag a free 1-way (EWR-SEA for instance) instead of the stop-over, but was not able to get it to work on United.com website.
that’s supposed to be 65K miles not 650K
To get the free oneway, use the phone-hold trick as outlined here: http://milevalue.com/six-and-a-half-hours-on-a-flat-bed-in-a-dreamliner-for-25000-united-miles/
Wow, now this is a slick tool. I’ve wanted to create something like this, so I’m glad to see you’ve already done it. I’ve nailed some sweet deals by moving Chase Ultimate Rewards to Southwest.
