Business Ideas
« on: June 17, 2015, 12:49:22 PM »
I am imagining a service which books flights for you using your points. It's easy to earn points but much more complex to use them wisely . To my understanding travel agents won't to this for you.
Does such a service exsist?
What would you pay for such a thing?
What would be some of the problems with this business?

They have mile to go ... they only do domestic flights... they are easy! Lets see how much they charge for international. Now that would be a business!

There's a million companies that do this, but how many are gonna get you the awards you want at the lowest amount of points? What would be a fair price for an expert to book international biz tix?
