2026 MMB info Announced

Does anyone else think the AP exchange isnt a horrible rate?

I'm considering it since we'll probably have a little bit of extra points and would rather have our APs for the year.

For my wife and I:
929 + tax = 987
987*2 = 1974 = value of 2 sorcerer renewals

1974 - (240 (24 OTU points) + 95 (MMB))= 1639

1639/106 (remaining number of points needed) = 15.46 per point + MMB perks

I know the knee jerk reaction to exchanges is hell no its not worth it but between taxes and time spent trying to rent them out and etc. this has me tempted. It's at least a much better exchange rate than ABD and cruises obviously.

Outside of magical beginnings, it will be the easiest and fastest way to monetize your points. If you’re paying taxes on point rentals, you’ll be hard pressed to come out ahead (and certainly not without more time and effort).

Yep we did it this year and will probably do it next year. I know @Sandisw did too.

Once you have a large number of points it makes it much easier to make the swap. No having to rent out the extra points, mess with taxes, etc. No extra 2k for 2 passes coming out of the budget after dues, etc. After the 24 BOGO OTUPs it takes just over 100 points for 2 passes. No good if you have 150 points, but if you have 500-1000+? Made it much easier to stomach.

I consider my money in the system basically gone so am really just looking at dues now. Paying $8-9 in dues and getting $15ish in a swap seems good enough for me

I’m with you. I did it last year and will do it again this year.

Are we able to buy and use the OTUP for this? If so I wasn’t aware and will definitely do it.
