So I don’t have enough Alaska miles to leave on a Saturday from SGN since there are only J after taking a short haul from PNH in March 16 and my gf is afraid of being in Cambodia alone for 24 hours...

...tell her to suck it up or transfer the remainder of my 62k Marriott points to Alaska to take the J fare on Saturday back to IAD? Currently sitting at 40k AS. Honestly I don’t want to transfer it and I think Cambodians are probably harmless. Pretty much only have Marriott and AS at the moment.

Cambodia is pretty safe if you don’t do anything stupid.

Can’t you spend less points on a hotel for the night by the airport? Such a waste to not go explore Cambodia for a day but transferring and emptying out your account for that seems unfair

You can do an insane amount of stuff in Cambodia in 24 hours. That being said, she's your girlfriend...

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time.

My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?
