Payback.Guru

An independent reference on earning, converting and spending Payback points and Miles and More miles. It is written for the ordinary spender, not the point hoarder.

The site turns everyday spending into flights. That is the whole idea, and everything on the site serves it.

What this site is

• A reference desk for two loyalty programmes, not a scheme and not a blog.
• Sober and numbers first. Every figure carries a date and a source.
• Written in English and German, at the same address, in German prose and not as a copy.
• Independent. No brand pays for a claim here, and no claim is softened to keep a partner happy.

How to read a figure

A number without a date is not a number, it is a rumour. Each figure on this site states when it was last checked, where it came from, and what it assumes: taxes excluded, one-way, economy, peak or off-peak. Where a figure is rounded, it says so.

The short version

Earn from what you already buy. Do not buy for the points. Then spend the points on a flight that would have been worth flying anyway.
