Figure out what trip you want to take first. Work backwards from there. Search for award travel based off of where you want to go and dates you’re able to go. I prefer to start with point hound which is a free website. Others please recommend other travel site searches that are free. In the search filter, you can select the credit card or award programs you have.

This. There’s no magic easy way to do it. Figure out the route you’re taking, see which airlines fly, and then work backwards from the most generous programs to the least to see which has availability.

Point.me is the best tool for this!

Here’s an example: my wife and I flew back from the Maldives to Chicago on Qatar Airways business class. Had we booked direct on Qatar’s website, it would have cost us 400,000 points total (200,000 each). However, point.me was able to identify the exact same flight booked through British Airways for 170,000 points total (85,000 each). We the transferred some Amex points and booked the flight on BA via a codeshare with Qatar.

How do you navigate a job offer that is contingent on the firm calling professional references? I don’t want to tell my current firm I’m leaving for this other firm until it’s official…which means I can’t use my current bosses as references. I have been with this firm since I graduated law school (5+ years), so I don’t have other legal references. I had a pre-law career…but that was so long ago. I’m not sure what to do…any suggestions?
