Capital One points have to be some of the most valuable points. The ability to wipe out your travel purchases is amazing for flights... Gets you segments & MQM 😍

Check out Chase Sapphire Reserve for travel and dining (3% back). Amazon Rewards is actually pretty decent as well since it doesn’t charge any annual fee (5% back on Amazon purchases, 2% on dining+gas)

Wrong. Csr way better.

Ey op no you’re not “well researched” at all. CSR allows you to receive segments and perks you just have link it with your frequent flyer number

Lol OP you should probably do some research into how it all works. It’s far more valuable (usually) to redeem points for travel and forgo the MQMs, than to essentially sell your reward points for like 1¢. I can usually get 3-4¢ of value for each of my UR points with the CSR, or redeem for a flat 1.5¢ at minimum

like

OP you know you can use CSR points to ‘pay’ for flights and get MQMs etc. for (I think) 1.5c/pt

like

@K1 I have the CSR but aside from marginally more points, the venture one is the best IMO. The value of a segment and MQM > Small point variance

like

Amazon is 5% for Prime, otherwise 3%. Only certain other categories are 2% as noted above, but the Citi Double Cash is 2% on everything

@C1 I thought that when I booked a flight through CSR (As I did recently) I didn't get any points or segments?

Did you include your FF# OP? I️ definitely got pts/segments when I️ booked delta flights with my CSR

@D2 agreed, unless you are like me and trying to finagle your last 8-12 segments to hit platinum. I am well researched haha

I just presumed I suppose, since when I booked a hotel I got no Marriott points

Whether the flights are booked to reach a destination or as part of a status doesn't matter. The opportunity cost of those points are the same. Also, not many status bumps worth 12 segs...

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
