Willing to pay to have mileage pro book for me
« on: March 20, 2018, 08:05:39 PM »
Hey,

First post here so please go easy. I have done research and found a round trip that works perfect for me. I think I have enough points to execute the purchase (transfer from SPG).

I am willing to pay somebody here to walk me through the steps and verify all my information is correct.

Not sure if this post is against the rules or not.

I learned in life that you sometimes need to pay for people to go out of their way....I would give someone $30 or so to take my logins and book the tickets. Have never used mileage on this scale (been saving for a bit) and cannot afford to mess up.

Why don't you start with some more details and maybe see if A. the collective 'we' can help you here and/or B. if someone feel knowledgeable enough to do what you are requesting.

Great idea....

I have 160k SPG pts. There is an off peak round trip in business on oneworld from ewr<>ory (small airport outside paris) on May 15th-22nd.
 
After researching, it looks like I can get that round trip for 40,000 JAL miles each (looking for two tickets).

Thing is JAL makes their website impossible to maneuver and I would probably need to call in to book. I could not even find how to search for mileage flights on JAL's site. Found the flights on AA and BA though.

Would need confirmation on exactly how many points to transfer from SPG to JAL to maximize the 20% bonus and then how to go about booking the tickets once the points are transferred. I understand this may be child's play to the general populace here but I would rather spend a few dollars up front than blow all my points and/or lose the opportunity.

Thank you for your time.

Not sure what the going rate is (do other people do this?).

Does $30 sound fare?

Did that, thanks. That thread looks kind of dead though, hoping somebody here will be able to assist.

That's thread is farthest from dead. (responses can take time.)
But I don't think that thread is what you need as you know what flight to book and how to.

responded in that thread. If you're sold on those flights and willing to take the risks described then just transfer 3 times 20k SPG plus 5k to JAL and call to book. Call first to make sure you dont get slammed with fuel surcharges. 
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
