I've amassed 150K pts and want good use for it but not traveling right away (newborn). I'm getting weary of bilt continually being nerfed (recent transfer bonus cap is a big one). What are ppl doing with their Bilt points for travel if not traveling right away? Speculative transfers are risky but so is losing value on these points potentially.

We definitely will go to Europe sometime in the next 1-2 yrs for a big trip and Avios seems flexible enough that it's a relatively safe bet for the 60% bonus via gold status/palladium card since it covers BA, Iberia and AA as a backup too. and it doesn't expire for 3 yrs.

am i crazy? just talking myself into this?

Don't have a trip in mind but i'm weary of bilt continually being nerfed (recent transfer bonus cap is a big one). I've amassed 150K pts and want good use for it.

am i crazy? just talking myself into this? I know speculative transfers are risky but not maximizing these points given the shaky bilt transition is too. or if they lose a travel partner forget it.

for context we also have 250K in CapOne, 200K in Amex, 50K chase, and 115K citi. So i feel like enough options to round out a real trip and use Avios as the starting point.
