The Trigger Happy Advice I Thankfully Thought to Retract
March 24, 2018
At the end of February I traveled to Rio de Janeiro and Buzios, Brazil. I'm a huge fan of Brazil and have traveled it more than any other country. The image above is from Buzios.
Using a sweetspot on the Etihad award chart, I flew roundtrip between Buenos Aires and Rio on Brazilian airline GOL for 18,000 Membership Rewards + taxes. Cash tickets are notoriously expensive between the two cities, so the value per point I got was over three cents.

September 16, 2017
Tomorrow is the last day to transfer Membership Rewards to British Airways and Iberia Avios with a 40% transfer bonus. The cutoff is 11:59 p.m. MT on September 17.

In a surprising and awesome turn of events, right after the new transfer rate was announced, a transfer bonus was also announced.

Why I Just Chose to Redeem Aeroplan Miles Over Singapore
July 2, 2017
Tonight (for me it is almost 11 PM) my goal was to book a flight to get me from Norway to Spain around July 11, because for the rest of the days leading up to the 11th, I'll be camping in rural Norway with little to no internet access.
Cash flights at this point are exorbitantly expensive, but hey, that's what miles are for.

Anatomy of an Award: Buenos Aires to São Paulo for 9k Points
June 13, 2017
A few months ago I booked Iberia Business Class from São Paulo to Madrid with 42,500 Avios because of the great mileage price tag and the lack of fuel surcharges departing from Brazil where fuel surcharges are illegal. This left a hole in my itinerary between Buenos Aires and São Paulo.
Here’s an index to give my whole travel experience from Argentina to Spain some cohesion.

This could be a good deal if you have an immediate use for TrueBlue points. In other words, if there’s a cheap JetBlue flight you want to book and you have ThankYou Points, pay attention.
