Have 500k chase points. Should I transfer them or use the 50% CSR bonus and book flights that way?

I would look at Hyatt hotels too. Hyatt is a chase transfer partner and you can definitely get a lot more value.

As always, it’s usually on a per flight basis and depends on your flexibility. Where you’re going to get outsized value is using points for the unicorn miles business/first class award ticket. If it’s economy, I’ve found it’s usually a toss up what provides the better value.

I 2nd Hyatt. I use them to book ski resort hotels during peak season. Typically average around 3-4 cents per point

Is 1.5x pay yourself back a bad call? Seems like free money tbh.

Transfer. But gotta find the award flight first before transferring

Transfer to Hyatt.
Use through portal.
Cash out (I like this the best, because there are always other ways to get hotel and airline points).

Same.

It depends on the specific situation. In general, buying tickets and getting the 1.5 cents per point is probably better for coach. You get miles/status. You will probably get a better return transferring points if you are flying business or first.

If you're looking to book business, then transfer. Otherwise, 1.5x sometimes get you higher value then an economy award ticket.

Transfer to Hyatt!!!
