I have the opportunity to spend Christmas with the family this year. Winner! But how to do it?
I'm sitting on a 50% bonus SC offer. On the dates I'd need to travel I'd be up for ~$1,100 rtn and 100SC, plus the 50SC bonus. This would push me to within 20SC of my next status bonus (a further 50SC these days). I' already requalled SG and WP appears out of reach this year.
Amazingly there's also J award availability for the same dates. 75,000pts rtn plus ~$130 in fines. But the catch is I'm trying to accumulate points for a Oneworld 280k award for three late next year.
Do I burn the cash or burn the points?
What would you do?
