<p><strong>Should I split a points transfer into smaller buckets? </strong>Frequent Miler reader Keith wrote in with this question:</p><blockquote>I tried to transfer 560K points to Air France to snag a redemption. had previously transferred about 280k points from Amex to KLM, I thought for sure the points would have similarly come through with Chase. Sadly, the points took 4 days to transfer, and I missed my booking window. Looking back, should I have spread my point transfers across different currencies to lower the transfer risk? I could have also covered the transfer using Capital One or Amex points. How do you balance speed with lowering the risk that your points will miss their intended purpose?</blockquote><p></p><p>We’ve been answering a reader or listener question at the end of each Frequent Miler on the Air podcast episode. Now, we’ve turned the question of the week into its own weekly episode. Tune in every Sunday at 5pm for our Question of the Week podcast. And if you have your own question you’d like to submit, you can send it to mailbag@frequentmiler.com.</p><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Check out all of our other travel podcasts from around the world</strong></p><p>This podcast is part of Voyascape, a podcast network that brings together the world's best travel podcasts.
