Q: When should you buy points or miles?

Buy points or miles only when you have a specific redemption in mind and the cash price is lower than the value you expect from that redemption. A bonus alone is not a reason to buy speculatively.

Review prior purchase promotions by loyalty program to understand the bonus, discount, and price patterns that have been available.
