Anyone have IHG points they’d be willing to loan me? I’m looking to book a stay with 120,000 points in December. Going to sign up for the credit card but won’t get points in time. Will transfer back 125k once I get the sign up from the credit card in 3 months.

Fair point.
Willing to buy and then sell them back, if that helps with trust

How much would you want to buy for?

Strong preference not to actually buy them, but to just return the points with some amount of interest.
But could buy at 0.5 cents per point as a trust mechanism?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
