How to use or combine Travel/Rewards points from various cards

[Cruising1122]

Does anyone any forum to ask about how best earn and use Travel Points and rewards? Travel rewards does not seems be hot topic here at Cruise Critic.

 

You do need airline ticket to travel to cruise port.

 

I have travel points and airline reward spread across various credit card and airline rewards program. Is there a way if I can combine them? I have seen people use miles on (lets say) Delta airline but operated by Virgin Atlantic.

 

First I need to transfer mile from credit card rewards to Delta (if Delta is in their network) and then use Delta rewards program to book airline ticket either on Delta or partner airline?

All have great tips on points.

 

I have transferred from Chase/Citi/AmEx/Capital One to various airlines & hotels.

Each card has certain ones you can transfer to.

I transferred Chase miles to Asia Miles to book AA flights.

It depends on the card.  I use mainly chase and you can freely exchange points at no cost between Chase and their travel partners.  I am sure most major cards have similar programs.  If you go out of network the fees and costs can be a little high for my liking.   
 

also my cars as other bank cards have the ability to purchase travel on their own website
