It's a little bit of a Rubik's Cube.

But if you start with that focus and realize I need to have enough miles and points earned 360 or 330 days in advance, then that's how you lay out your scheme.

So you're looking 12, 18 months in the future and realizing I need to have a certain accumulation of the right currency.

So when the inventory comes available, I immediately know where to go and I lock it in.

So...

So we had a 96 hour notice and we already had our date windows.

We knew our minimum class of service.

We had our dog sitter.

We knew where we wanted to go.

And so the only challenges that we had is to get from Savannah to O'Hare.

And there was a nonstop on American and we used to use some points for that too.

So, so that's how we did it.

Now it's difficult to lay out the recipe without naming credit card issuers who are not sponsors.

What,

the best technique is going to do to be is you want to earn points in a, in a loyalty program that has access to long, you know, 360 day inventory.

So J J L and Kathy Pacific are two that have access to that.

So their program is called Asia miles.

So you open up an Asia miles account, which is free.

Which is free.

And you would pursue those banks who have relationships with Asian Miles.
