Any of you have a chase sapphire reserve card? How do I maximize the benefits when it seems like I can’t even get reasonable business class flights unless I book 1 year out, and I never know if my schedule will even allow that time to work when the year role around. How do you do it when you have variable work schedules?

That’s unfortunately how it works now. Everyone and their mothers have credit cards with points and people are generally inflexible with travel plans (I.e kids summer/winter/spring break, events etc). The CCs don’t care as they want people to continually use their cards which become ever devalued to keep costs in-line.

The answer is if you can’t you don’t. You hear about the 9cpp shit but that’s for people riding in an offseason, in business and a year out. Otherwise if you’re riding anything under in coach or premium it’s probably going to be 1cpp

It’s hard to get 4-8 cents a point on biz class anymore but you can still get 1.5 cents a point through their travel portal.

You have to be flexible or booking a year ahead if you want to get good deals. Recommend looking through seats.aero and see what the availabilities are

Transfer to Hyatt is best value I have found. I can get 3-4 cents per mile.

Marriott redemption is trash

Random question: anyone have any water damage horror stories?

Ignore and pray it away or get it fixed lol?
