🚨 Where to transfer miles to de-risk from devaluation

Or how to protect ourselves from sudden devaluation 👇
Recently Axis temporarily stopped Accor and Vistara transfers

But...

😮 What if they permanently stop certain partners?
😱 Devaluate the transfer ratio
☹️ Stop the Magnus 25k bonus points for the monthly Rs 100k spends
This thread is not for making you anxious or fear-mongering. 😀

I believe that we can minimize the deval blow.

So, what's the best strategy to de-risk?
