Booking flights for family on United and partner airline (Lufthansa). Should I put it on my chase sapphire preferred or United explorer card to maximize points? I’m not traveling with them if that matters..

You get the same number of miles with both but the Chase points are transferable.
If you were traveling with them it would matter because the UA card would give you priority boarding and free checked bags if you did not have UA status.

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA
