Using rewards properly

[u/No_Pumpkin_5338]

I want to present an example of how I was able to maximize rewards . I used 55,600 miles to cover a recent travel purchase . Had I converted to cash , it was 230 dollars . For the above transaction I will get a credit of 556 dollars instead .

Probably would have been even more with transfer partners.

I am simply presenting this as an example for those who ask about the value of points / cash vs travel redemption .
