Transferred my points to United and it actually was the worst deal

if you're trying to earn points I've personally found flights on the chase portal to be the same price as the airline website. I always double check but if its the same I want the 5x bonus through the portal

Wait until there’s a bonus! Southwest has a 30% bonus when you transfer your points right now

But they book via Expedia and the hotels don’t like it and never give an upgrade. Better to book directly.

I agree with airline but hotels there are so many perks when book fine hotels through Amex as early and late check out, breakfast, $100 resort credit. I stayed at the Ritz in Miami with Amex portal and got a late check out for 4 pm, my breakfast was free and I got 5x the points

How do you directly transfer the points to the hotel or travel partner?

Not to mention, managing your booking after the fact is 1000% easier on the airlines website

Except when I even try to book with Chase but they’re 10-20% higher than just booking with the hotel

This didn’t help anything because you didn’t explain how to do it

Chase allowed points value increase to 1.25x so I booked with them and used less points for a more expensive flight.

Yes! I always look for Hyatt’s because you get more for less. Ive had a trip to NC and PR for free because of it.

Not always the case. I’ve gotten the best flight redemptions on economy direct to Asia for as little as 59k points all in booking thru chase with ANA and JAL. This is booking 3-4 months out btw. I cross reference prices direct with airline vs with chase and its the exact same 99% of the time except for hotels and car rentals which I usually dont recommend unless you have credits to use.

There's a lot of times when it's cheaper on Chase Portal through points boost especially if you have a CSR. These things are not absolutes

But you gotta book in the portal to get points first?

Yeah idk how true that is. You also have to take into account perks, bonuses, and fees. Also, overall cost.

I transferred my points to Avios thinking I’d get more value and ended up losing like $200 worth of points 😫
