Earlier this year I published a series about how to maximize each type of transferrable point when redeeming on domestic awards. By doing so, all the major types of miles were covered.

How to Maximize Domestic Award Redemptions: Starpoints (SPG)

Let's talk about the highlights of what we've learned. Below I'll include basic details of valuable ways to redeem your miles on an award within the United States.

I'm going to show you how to book a mega-award with seven stops to South America with Asia Miles. You already have Asia Miles because they are a transfer partner of Citi ThankYou Points, AMEX Membership Rewards, and SPG Starpoints.

Asia Miles can be used to book any oneworld airline's award space plus space on its partners Aer Lingus and Alaska Airlines.

Asia Miles charges fuel surcharges on award tickets when the equivalent cash tickets would have fuel surcharges.
