I checked the Andaz In Costa Rica for a random date in November 2020. Cost is $288. Your example shows a rate over $1000, but you didn’t mention a date.

So much for a fair comparison. 5 cents a points or 1.5 cents. BIG difference.

Readers, do your research.

Currently they are allowing you to use points, similar to capital one, as a point eraser. At a redemtion rate the same as travel for things like Grocery, gas, and dining.

In reply to Cha. I suspect she transferred 70k chase points to united, and then booked a united business saver fare on Turkish.

How did the 70,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards Points bought you $3,265 ticket. Then I must have done something wrong!
I have Sapphire Reserve and I bought my Turkish Airline ticket through Chase Website, the Ultimate Rewards Points travel portal. Ticket price was 910.58 and took 60,705 points. So my points was worth 0.015. How did you get 4.7 cents per point?

Hi-feel like I’m taking crazy pills. If you redeem your chase sapphire reserve points towards travel you are actually getting the equivalent of 4.5% cash back!!! I spend $100 on travel/dining and get 3x points=300 points. I then apply those points to a travel award and get $4.5 dollars of credit (300×1.5 redemption rate).

Hi Lisa,

You’ll have to call Chase to get this done. They have some IT department that’s pretty familiar with this process.

I did it a few years ago and it’s so much nicer being able to see all my Chase accounts under a single login.

Before combining all points to one account you have to have your business and personal cards on one account? How do you do this?

Flying blue is becoming one of my favorite transfer partners for chase ultimate rewards (or citi thank you points). Combined with one of the promo flight deals, you can get a very good deal on an international flight from the US to europe/asia. I recently booked a flight (with an open jaw) for ~4 cents/point value

Korean is NO longer a transfer partner.
If you are going to recycle info, please update it first.

And, if you just want cashback, there are better cards for that with a return of better than 1%.
