Disclaimar: Transfers can be irreversible, and partner programs may change unexpectedly, affecting your ability to redeem points. Furthermore, it’s vital to keep in mind that points and miles in certain programs have expiration dates. Therefore, it’s essential to stay vigilant and track these expiration dates diligently. Always verify availability before transferring points to ensure flexibility, and stay informed about partner program updates to maximize the value of your rewards.
