Similar to Amex points, using those points for Amazon (or GC for Amex) is an extremely poor redemption.

@op take advantage of chase's transfer partners. Can earn a much more valuable redemption that way.

Actually 20%. You went down from 125 to 100. 25 is 20% of 125.

Southwest points transfer is pretty solid especially for wanna get away fares

like

(Y2-Y1)/(Y1) = 25%

My bad. I was looking at it the other way around. From 125 to 100 instead of 100 to 125

What's your source for this? Just checked Chase's website and can still redeem 100 pts per $ on Amazon gift cards. Regardless, Amazon wasn't the best use of UR points, though.

Email from chase

Hmm, haven't received it yet. Now's your chance to redeem if you were planning on ever getting Amazon credit.

Yeah it sucks :/

What do you recommend spending the points on?

+1 for Southwest transfer
