Greg and I will be taking your questions live on Wednesday, April 27th at 9pm Eastern Time. We are giving away prizes, including packages of 25K IHG points, and more.
There will be some changes to our format for this month.
We will be giving away some nice prizes in a special edition of Ask Us Anything in celebration of 20,000 members in our Frequent Miler Insiders Facebook Group. You will want to join the group here because this round of Ask Us Anything will be hosted there. Don't forget to answer the sign-up questions. The questions help us eliminate the bots that don't answer or provide nonsensical answers.
You can win some nice prizes by participating in Ask Us Anything. Submitting questions is the way to win. I recommend coming to the live event as most questions will likely come from attendees, while questions submitted in advance in the comments of this post will be considered if we answer them during the broadcast. Your question may win if you fire away with questions.
After the event is over, the frequent miler team will choose 7 favorite questions. We will allow group members to vote and choose their favorite question after we post those questions. The polls will be open until 9pm Eastern time on Thursday, April 28th and we will award the following prizes based on the vote totals.
We are excited that IHG and Spirit are going to offer some valuable prizes for our readers.
You could maximize to get even more value out of the points, based on our Reasonable Redemption Value of 0.6c per point. You can find excellent value with your points if you combine them with a free night certificate from the IHG premier card, since you can top off a certificate with as many points as you need for a standard room.
I was pleasantly surprised by the value of the points, as I ran some sample searches for flights this fall and found many instances where you would get north of 1c per point in value. I looked up routes where 10K points would suffice to get a free flight. I found a lot of dates this fall where 10K points would be enough for a transcontinental flight between Newark and Los Angeles, and you could easily earn 500 points through the shopping portal to get a free cross-continental flight. There are many benefits to being a Silver member of Spirit Airlines, including the ability to host a points pool, free seat selection at check-in, and more.
At the beginning of the event, we will talk about the great uses of the prizes. We will be there to discuss credit card rewards, award bookings, elite status, and more.
Join us in our Frequent miler Insiders Facebook group once a month, but only this month. We will be there to chat, answer questions, and joke around.
We will pick a few questions to answer right from the start.
