Have a ton of CSR points - would y'all use it to book a more expensive hotel or book a cheaper one and use some of the cash back? I know that redemption rate is better for hotels but wasn't sure.

Neither. Hotel redemption values are junk compared to what can be achieved in redemption on international airfare in premium classes. If you’re spending CSR points on anything else, you’re leaving a lot of value on the table.

I've already gotten the plane ticket (in biz class) already! Also taking into account the 30% discount of redeeming through Chase Portal.

Still. Save them for another trip and book the hotel using cash or hotel points

Hello fish - I moved to NYC from Charlotte NC recently. I have several weddings to attend in the month of April and am traveling back for 3 weeks. Has anyone traveled via airline with a pet before?

I don’t know where to start … having a pet sitter for 3 weeks isn’t an option and driving to and from isn’t either due to my work schedule.
