Today we return to talk about alternative ways to use the points Of airline loyalty programs. It is not the best way, but for many users this mode is instead a "smart" way to use points.
What are the Nitto ATP Finals
ATP circuit finals are the most important tennis tournament of the season, after the 4 slams. This year's will be the second to be held in Turin and will go down in history for being the first "since Roger Federer's farewell to tennis."
The tournament is scheduled at the PalaAlpitour from November 13 to 20, and Emirates is a longtime sponsor of the ATP circuit. The best athletes of the season participate in the event, a race for a place in the tournament that gives the winners not only the prize money but also 1,500 points.
What are Skywards Exclusives
Skywards is Emirates' loyalty program and for many years has also allowed members to use points for other solutions besides redeeming award tickets. In the past we have told about how to use the points for tickets to major sporting events, concerts and other unique experiences.
In some cases tickets can be bought directly with points, in other cases for the most exclusive proposals there is an auction, which, as a matter of course, raises the price considerably.
Tickets to the world tennis finals.
Prices, in points, charged for a coupon start at 15 thousand Skywards points and go up to 50k for the package that includes ticket in a VIP box and hospitality inside the arena.
If you want to get the most exclusive ticket, there are only 10 available, for the final on Sunday night, Nov. 20, you have to spend 70 thousand points. Sure, not a few, but the ticket is not on sale and provides VIP treatment.
In conclusion
This is a very good solution if you have points in your pocket, not enough to think about booking a flight and nearing expiration. Instead of losing them, you can use them to treat yourself to a ticket to a very important event without spending a single euro.
