I have points in my chase sapphire preferred card. How do y’all go about optimizing transfer partners and where do you see points/miles outside of the chase travel portal? Trying to optimize the vest way to transfer and use my miles

Figure out what trip you want to take first. Work backwards from there. Search for award travel based off of where you want to go and dates you’re able to go. I prefer to start with point hound which is a free website. Others please recommend other travel site searches that are free. In the search filter, you can select the credit card or award programs you have.

This. There’s no magic easy way to do it. Figure out the route you’re taking, see which airlines fly, and then work backwards from the most generous programs to the least to see which has availability.

Point.me is the best tool for this!

Here’s an example: my wife and I flew back from the Maldives to Chicago on Qatar Airways business class. Had we booked direct on Qatar’s website, it would have cost us 400,000 points total (200,000 each). However, point.me was able to identify the exact same flight booked through British Airways for 170,000 points total (85,000 each). We the transferred some Amex points and booked the flight on BA via a codeshare with Qatar.

Hello Fishes,

Recently received offer from Oracle Solution Services India Private Limited and base location mentioned is Bangalore. Just was curious to know whether we have to go to office physically for the joining or we can join virtually as I am not in Bangalore. Also is this offer different from Oracle or is it a branch within Oracle.

TIA
