I am trying to book a One Way Air France flight from Paris to LA for around middle of July, and from now until June 20th I see that it is consistently only like 18K points in Economy. But the moment I jump to June 21st, it is closer to 47K points for Economy seating for the same kind of flight!

I am just learning about CC points and have never booked with miles before, so is this huge spike happening because June 21st is a month from now, meaning I need to wait until closer to my mid July flight to book with points? Or is this because of a travel spike during Peak Season? I'm just wondering if I should use Cash instead since 47K points I know could be used smarter. And also trying to figure out how many points I need for this kind of redemption. This may be a dumb question but don't want to take any chances and wanted reddit help.

Am looking for an everyday shoe that I can just slip on easily for daily everyday use no matter what I'm wearing without needing to think. But I also would like that shoe to be something I look forward to wearing because of comfort, but also don't mind getting a little dirty incase like, I end up walking through a dirty road.

Right now I have Onitsuka Tigers sneakers but I want to save them for special occasions and try preserving how they look. I've been using Rebook Nano shoes for everyday comfortable use but want to switch those to my gym shoes. I was thinking of going for White Adidas BW Army Shoes but don't know how slip on and comfy they are or how dirty they may get. But I like the simple look.

Hi all. I keep seeing mixed responses from the past but in today's climate, would it be worth transferring my WF Active Cash points into Autograph points? I've seen this is an option, and I have 600 dollars in cash back with Active Cash after using it for years casually, and just got an Autograph during the BILT 2.0 rollout, but only have like 1800 points now.

I also am working for the AMEX 100K points bonus and have 32K BILT points, but would it be worth transferring what I have in Active Cash into the Points ecosystem as well, or just cash back it $600? I do see myself going to Paris, Argentina, or Japan possibly sometime in the next year. I'm trying to travel internationally casually when I have PTO.
