Episode notes
Pick A Clear Management Model
- Decide upfront whether you will merely advise, provide a schedule, or fully manage accounts for friends and family.
- Charge fees or share points if you plan to run it like a business to cover effort and liability.
Pick One Flexible Travel Constraint
- Set realistic trade-offs: pick where to go, when to go, or what cabin to fly; you usually can't guarantee all three.
- Prioritize flexibility in either date or destination to unlock award inventory.
Set Expectation Windows For Award Confirmations
- Prepare loved ones for last-minute confirmations and set expectations about timing and uncertainty.
- Tell them approximate windows (e.g., likely within 24â48 hours) to reduce stress.
