Only if the SPG alternative is a low rate... Every 10 nights nets you 10k Marriott, or 3333 SPG. Any rate over $167/nt has a better value at SPG

I'm in a mega bonus but now wondering if I should switch to SPG for a few months and then transfer with a x3

Now I need to learn a whole new set of corporate codes

What's the best transfer option for using them? Anyone done the math? You get more with Spg or Marriott at 3x?

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? 😂
