In today’s Wondering Wednesday mini episode of the Wonderland on Points podcast, we’re answering a common question: When is the right time to actually use the travel portal?

The conventional wisdom in the points and miles world is that you typically get the best value when you transfer your points and book travel outside of the portal—and that’s absolutely true. But there are definitely times when using the travel portal is your best bet. In this episode, we break down those situations and share real-life examples of when we’ve booked travel through the portal and why it worked out in our favor.

If you’ve ever been unsure about when to use the travel portal, this episode will clear it up for you and help you make smarter decisions with your points!
