Travel Hacking Hat Trick: More points

Yesterday I did something I have not been able to do in the past. I've had transactions where I have scored double the reward points on a single purchase. But, this time, I scored a travel hacker's dream transaction: a travel hack hat trick. I got awarded points 3 times for one transaction. (Hat Trick: In field hockey and ice hockey, a hat trick occurs when a player scores three goals in a single game.)

So, there are fewer people on the planes and the airlines are running fewer flights. Scarcity creates high demand. This drives up the price. There is good news: you can still pay for cheap flights in the age of the coronavirus.
