Planning your trip carefully when spending your points can save you a significant amount by adding in stopovers and booking open jaw trips. If you are considering visiting more than one place, an open jaw trip (including some overland travel in between) will cost you the same as a return flight, which can save money on domestic flights or travel delays. Most remarkably however, is the stopover option when you pay with points. By planning your trips in advance and claiming your home city as a stopover, you can line up several holidays for significantly less than paying for each flight individually.
