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