マイル&ポイントの最終目的地
バックグランド ブロガー仲間のクレビーさんのブログで見かけたトピックです。 クレジットカードを利用し日々マイル&ポイントを貯めて旅行に使ったりしている我々ですが、日々最適化してどこに向かっているのか? 考えたことありますでしょうか? 毎回貯めて&使ってで精一杯でそんなことを考える余裕がない!という方も多いでしょう。 この記事では私が行き着いた考えをシェアしたいと思います。 最適化の先に何を求めるのか? クレジットカードの入会ボーナス、日々のカテゴリーボーナス、マイル&ポイントを使う時にできるだけ少ないマイル数で予約できるようにする。など恐らくみんながそれなりに努力していると思います。 1回、2回、10回、50回と繰り返していると自然と前までしてきたよりも効率がよくマイル&ポイントが使えていることが多いと思います。大きな理由に、初心者の時にした間違えをしなくなったということが多いのかと。 大きな失敗をしなくなるだけでも効率は格段に上がります。そしてやっているうちにだいたいどれぐらいが相場なのか分かるようになるので、得か、そうでないかが判断しやすくなります。 例えば、エコノミークラスの日本⇔アメリカ往復が200kはお得ではないと瞬間でわかり、80-90kぐらいなら悪くないとわかる。そんな感じです。 無意識に最適化しているんです。それが恐らく人間の本能。少しでも前よりもいいようにと。   楽しさが薄れる時が気づきの時 マイル&ポイントを貯める&使う時、さらに旅行している時は最高に楽しいと思います。ところがふとした時に「あれ、自分なんでこんなことまでしてマイル&ポイント貯めるんだっけ?」と感じることがあるかもしれません。 それは、クレジットカードについてくるクーポンを回収するためにやたらと時間を使って考えたり、必要のないものをクーポンがあるから買ったりなど。 要するに、ふと自分を客観的に見た時に浮かんでくる気づきです。 そこで客観的に自分を見た時の意見を優先するのか、それとも主観的な視点に戻るのかはその人の性格によると思います。 こんなに偉そうにブログ記事を書いている私でも同じように、「毎日色々情報収集が面倒だからしばらく休憩しようかな」なーんて思う時もよくあります。   最終目的地がある必要があるのか? 人生の目標と同じ感じで、マイル&ポイントに最終目的を設定する必要があるのか? もちろん目標があればより効率良く行動できます。だからブログを書き始めた時から、最初に行きたい旅行を決めて、そこから逆算して必要マイル数を計算し、必要なクレジットカードを作るのがベスト!とアドバイスしてきました。 でも、何事も最終目標があるとは限りません。大学、社会人になるまでは先人が設定したレールもあるし、それによってできた入社条件などもあるので、そこを目指すことが目標になってきました。 しかし、マイル&ポイントはここ20-30年前に始まったまだまだ新しい物。言ってしまえば今必死にやっている自分こそが次の世代の先代となる人たちなのです。 だからこそ悩むのは当たり前。次の目標地点はその時に定めるしかない。   人生も同じではないか? 人間は何千年と祖先がいますが、自分の人生を先に生きた人はいるでしょうか?自分と全く同じ経験(仕事&趣味)を積んで生きた人がいるでしょうか? 82億人の人が世界にいますが、同じ学校に行き、同じ仕事をして、同じ人と人生共に生きる人なんていません。 だからこそ毎日人間も悩みがあるのだと思います。自分がここに到達すべき目標というのが誰かが設定してくれたらどれだけ楽か。   まとめ どこに向かっているのか? 最適化のエンドゲームはどこなのか? このように考えられるようになった時点からがさらに楽しいのだと思います。理由は、ここからはレールがないから。自分だけのストーリーがある。 どのようなストーリーにするかは自分次第。だから責任はあるしビビるし悩む。当然のことだと思います。 The post マイル&ポイントの最終目的地 first appeared on アメリカ在住陸マイラー.
