A Freudian Analysis of FCF’s “Sweet Redeems”
FCF coined the term “Sweet Redeems”; here’s what this highly desirable travel term means along with recent examples.
Some people dream of winning the lottery. Others of playing shortstop for the Yankees. We at First Class Flyer dream of rare mileage award availability with top airlines and destinations .
Our global team spends countless hours trawling to find even one Sweet Redeem needle in the haystack. That saves you time, money and tired eyes staring at a screen (when they could otherwise be engaged in sweet dreams.).
So vivid are they, we call them Sweet Redeems.
We’ve made Sweet Redeems a priority because they address a big travel problem: having a nice quiver of award miles while airlines offer poor availability of redemptions at the lowest “saver” levels. It’s like having lots of cake—and never being able to eat it.
Sweet Redeems are hard to come by, even for FCF’s team of researchers digging for them on a daily basis. The average person has four dreams every night. First Class Flyer might have four Sweet Redeems in a week—you can analyze them in our daily alert section.
But that’s the “sweet” part. They are very lucrative for the premium traveler. Also sweet is that FCF saves you the nightmare of searching for them yourself—a frustrating, bleary-eyed experience.
The best way to explain a Sweet Redeem is to show recent examples.

Sweet dreamszzzzzz.
