Newbie seeking some guidance from points pros: I’m looking to book a codeshare flight in economy and then transfer credit card points to each airline to upgrade to business. Internet is saying this is not a thing. Have any of you tried to do this successfully? Please advise. Thank you.

Theoretically possible depending on the airline & points org (team blue/citi/c1/Amex) you’ve got. But that assumes you’re buying the Econ ticket in cash.

Thank you. So yes, planning on buying the economy ticket in cash, then transferring either Amex or Chase points to the 2 different airlines. The internet said I’d be able to do it for the airline I book through, but not for the partner one. Trying to go around this. Any ideas?

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…
