Episode notes
Replicability Drives Applicability Scores
- Applicability favors trips others can replicate, so one-off sale fares or unique elite statuses lower scores.
- Demonstrating ways for ordinary travelers to access lounges or book activities increases applicability.
Avoid One-Off Sale Fares For Replicability
- Avoid relying on rare sale fares when building a point-based itinerary because they reduce replicability.
- Favor common transfer options and widely available deals so others can copy your approach.
Value Comes From Point Efficiency And Frugality
- Value scores reward pro techniques and frugality as well as point efficiency, not just flashy hotels.
- Booking two travelers on the same 100k pool dramatically improves perceived value per person.
