When to Part with Points & Angie's Safari Trip
This week Angie and Joe discuss Award Travel 101 member Jessie's post about having a hard time parting with points. Jessie says she has plenty but the award space she needs are overpriced due to peak dates. Weighing using points for non-ideal redemptions verses earning them on cash tickets can stresses us out! However as we and often our kids get older we would like to try and make as many memories as possible so sometimes less than ideal redemptions might be for the best.
Angie is also finally back from her long awaited, much reschedule African safari trip so she discusses the highs, lows, things to do differently and how to use points on a $$$$ trip.
