Thinking about buying 5 night certificate with 100K miles to use airfare for upcoming trip to Disney with the family.
I’m totally new to using my MR points for anything but a random hotel stay and have never used airline rewards points before but we are doing a big family WDW trip this summer and hoping I can at least save on the airfare by using some of the almost 1 million points that are just sitting in my MR acct.
Since we will be staying at DVC, can I just use the miles for airline tickets and save the hotel certificate to use another time?
If so, anyone know how long I have to use it?
If I buy cat 1-4 now, can I upgrade to cat 5 or higher when I decide to use the hotel certificate?
Can I get more than the 100K airline points? Looks like I need 117K total AA points to fly all 9 of us round trip - that’s including 39K points already in our AA account.
Will the airline let us use points for all 9 of us at one time? There are 3 adults & 6 kids.
Looking at AA because we have an AA advantage CC and I think that still includes free bags. That offsets the cost of flying the cheaper airlines like Spirit or Frontier. Also, seeing more flight choices for the dates of our trip on AA.
