Many I’m sure have looked at their Award Wallet and noticed orphaned points or points that are going to expire in programs that they are really not going to use. My orphaned points were in JetBlue. Even though these will never expire, I had 1,000 that I had really no use for since I never have flown JetBlue and I can’t redeem them anywhere.
\nThis is when I headed to Points.com<\/a> to see what I can do with my JetBlue points. Points.com is where you can trade or exchange points in one program for points to another program. The exchange is most always less in what you get than what you receive and trades cost money. In this case, however,\u00a0 1,000 didn’t have value for me and I did notice after searching that 1,000 JetBlue points could be exchanged for 318 Best Buy Reward Zone points. 250 Best Buy points =$5 reward certificate that I could use for purchases and this was better than nothing so I decided to do an exchange which didn’t cost me any money. So I was happy to convert my orphaned points.<\/p>\n

There are other programs that you can exchange to such as other airlines or hotels so whatever you program of choice, you could exchange if you so choose. So this is one solution that benefited me!<\/p>\n

Anyone else do an exchange that they found more value in?<\/p>\n
