New to the points world and need advice. Planning a last minute trip to Chicago in a week and curious if you would use Chase points (60k) or $750 Currently have 130k from SUB+daily spending but not sure if it would be worth it to use points since the date is so close. Currently have CSR+CFF

I would not use the points for a trip to Chicago. Save them for a business class international trip.

Well 60k chase points is worth $900 via PYB so don’t use them unless it’s an award redemption.

Look up the average valuation of Chase points on the Points Guy (think it’s like 1.5 cents per point or some shit) and use that value to compare against the $750. If the 60k points equates to “more expensive” than the $750, then it’s worth paying in cash. However, if the 60k points come out to less than $750, then it’s a good deal to use points

If you’re hoping to find a housing deal, you’re out of luck in the short term.
Maybe if you can deal with the higher payments for the next 3 years and sell/refinance above today’s prices you’ll be ok, but this isn’t going to be pretty.
