Buying Hotel Points or Airline points can be an excellent way to top up miles or extend their validity. There eight offers for buying miles and points: six from airlines and two from hotel programs. All these points or miles purchases will be in foreign currency (USD/CAD), so using a good Forex card is better.

Bottomline
Buying Points & Miles can be helpful if you’re short of the required points. However, opportunities to earn these points could exist in India. So, in most cases, topping up miles could make sense for some. I would always recommend making buys for a firm journey. Otherwise, it could be a sunk cost. As all these purchases would be in foreign currency, always use a good Forex card.
