PerkJolt destination guide
Tokyo on Points: Which Programs, Which Transfers, in What Order
Six days in Tokyo with the flight and the hotel paid in points: which programs, which transfers, in what order.
Why this guide
A dated transfer chart
The transfer chart lists each program, the partner airline, the official ratio and the date it was checked.
A booking order that protects your points
The booking order is a numbered checklist that prevents the common mistake of transferring points before award space is confirmed.
Cash vs. points, side by side
A cost comparison for the same week as cash and as points, with sources and dates for each number.
