If I am cashing in Chase Sapphire points for a United flight, do you think that I can still earn United points for the flight? I didn't think so, but now I am wondering.

OP I flew them to Korea and they made us use our iPhones for entertainment...said they are in the process of taking out all of their entertainment since people can use their handheld devices. Needless to say my neck was sore from staring down at my phone for 12 hours-- I'd do the old Ambien/copious amounts of wine trick and sleep the whole flight if I had to do it over.

1. United sucks. 2. You will earn miles tho since you booked through your card lol

like

Yeah? That's awesome- thank you!

Did you transfer the points to United and redeem for an award flight? Or did you just buy the ticket with points? Earn miles in the second case but not the first obviously

Yes, direct through the credit card. I was blown away by how many more miles the United website wanted for the same flight!

Also, should I be worried that I am flying United all the way to Singapore? How much do they suck nowadays? Going coach

Dd1- I usually do that too except my flight departs at 7 AM EST- boo

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k.

Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
