Bilt rent day. I’ve been saving points to transfer to Hyatt whenever a good opportunity came around. But at Gold status, the transfer bonus to Alaska Airlines would be 75%. So a 50k transfer is 87.5k. Is this worth it for a speculative transfer? Seems like there’s some good domestic & international routes out of DFW.

Personally, I never speculatively buy/transfer. Devaluations are too common in this game to get stuck with a bad redemption. But to each their own

Always been my philosophy too. But 37k free points made me double take.

So I’m in the same position. I typically use my BILT points for Hyatt and would normally agree with the two posts above on not transferring unless you have a specific flight to book.

But Alaska redemption values are significantly better than the other domestic carriers, except maybe American. And I fly frequently enough to know I’ll have plenty of opportunities to get good use of those points. Worst case scenario - I’ll book a round trip to Tokyo for 40K points total (factoring in platinum transfer bonus).

Also assume you should have plenty of good points redemption availability since DFW is the AA hub and so many oneworld partners fly there

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
