Additional sessions of Miles for Beginners now available

Consider this your introduction to the world of miles and points.

After two very successful runs of Miles for Beginners, Iโ€™m pleased to announce that additional sessions of this 101-style introduction to miles and points are now available in August.

Miles for Beginners: How to earn miles quickly

The first session, on Friday 10 August at 1915-2145, focuses on earning miles. In this session, youโ€™ll cover:

  • Understanding the two main types of credit card rewards: miles and cashback
  • Learning the fundamentals of miles-earning credit cards
  • Cutting through the clutter by learning and weighing the key decision criteria for choosing a miles card
  • Learning how to derive your personal valuation of miles
  • Crafting an accelerated miles-earning strategy that works for you
  • Discovering some lesser-known ways of accumulating miles even without credit cards

Miles for Beginners: How to make your miles go further

The second session, on Friday 17 August at 1915-2145, focuses on burning miles. In this session, youโ€™ll cover:

  • Learning the fundamentals of frequent flyer programs and airline alliances
  • Deciding which frequent flyer program makes sense for you
  • Discovering the benefits of elite membership and how to earn it faster
  • Taking a deep dive into KrisFlyer and learn what you can (and should) redeem your miles for
  • Learning how to improve your flying experience by redeeming your miles for the right cabin products
  • Learning about non-flight redemption options for your miles
  • Understanding how to improve your chances of getting award seats

Who should attend?

You might have friends/family/colleagues who ask you questions like:

  • โ€œwhat card should I be using?โ€
  • โ€œshould I be paying an annual fee to buy miles?โ€
  • โ€œif I buy a ticket for someone else, can I earn the miles?โ€
  • โ€œwhat is the difference between redeeming and paying with miles?โ€
  • โ€œshould I redeem my miles for economy or business?โ€
  • โ€œcan I transfer my miles to someone else?โ€
  • โ€œwhy are all the awards always waitlisted?โ€

These sessions were made with this audience in mind.

The two sessions do dovetail into each other, however they can also be taken as stand-alone courses. If youโ€™re already fairly well versed with card strategy but have no idea what to do with your miles, try attending the burning session. If youโ€™re completely green to the miles game, attending both sessions will give you a very well-rounded lay of the land.

Remember that you can pay for ticket purchases via Apple Pay, earning 8 mpd with the Citibank Rewards and Citi Prestige cardsโ€ฆbut only till 31 July 2018.
