Looking to get 80K united points to book a flight. I’m a delta flyer and don’t have that many points. What’s the best way to get them?

For under the cost of just paying for the flight, not possible. You should purchase the flight outright and save yourself the hassle.

Chase Ink Preferred and then transfer to United.

Your only chance of below the cost of buying points (which is egregiously high) is to buy points off somebody at a discount (they will have to book the ticket through their account). This violates T&C, so you’d need to find a willing partner

amex points to aeroplan or get a united credit card with a sign-on bonus, you’d still be short but close

You could redeem hotel points for airline points

Any chase card then transfer to United or the Chase United card itself

Amex points to Avianca LifeMiles.
Or find a Buy Miles promotion which UA does occasionally.

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
