First off, look at the airport nearest you and the destinations you want to fly to.
One of the travelers I spoke with who's deciding to drop his status with one of the major carriers has built a spreadsheet and he's going to be tracking his travel throughout the year and seeing where he gets the cheapest flights, who has the most direct flights.
for the destinations he wants to go to and is going to use that as his basis.
Obviously, if you live near a major hub, sometimes that makes the decision for you.
But if you don't, it's good to run that analysis and keep track of those things and kind of reevaluate after a year or two and then see who it's worth building loyalty with.
You should sign up for every program.
I would never suggest to anyone that they don't join a frequent flyer program.
You're leaving money on the table.
You're
Definitely sign up for every program with every travel company you're spending money with.
But definitely look to see who fits your lifestyle.
And ultimately, it may just be that, that you might not travel into places where the loyalty makes sense.
And for a lot of folks, it will make sense to just be a free agent.
Oftentimes airlines will run incentives or deals where they'll give you an extra bonus for transferring your points from like Chase or American Express to them.
And so that will make them go even further and will help you make those trips a reality much more easily.
people are afraid not to get a good value out of them.
There's this idea that you want them to go as far as they possibly can, or you have that dream vacation that you're saving up for.
A lot of folks will save them up for a rainy day.
If you need to fly somewhere last minute, maybe it'll be cheaper to do it if you book with points.
But they're not necessarily the best ways of using those points because, well, you're not using them.
