New to transferring points. I’m trying to transfer chase points to Emirates which is a transfer partner. When I search the flight on Emirates it shows me the points it would cost + a $ amount. Why can’t I pay it all with points?

Can’t pay for the taxes +fees with points. For emirates business class seat I just took it was 150k points and extra $1000 for taxes and fees

Also that amount is completely dependent on the location you fly into and the airline. United fees can be as little as $30 extra

Gotcha! Did not know that was for taxes and fees thanks for clarifying

The taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges vary wildly between airlines and programs. Sometimes it’s better to pay more miles to not pay fuel surcharges. For example:

Lufthansa business class: 40k Asiana miles+900$ vs 88k united +$5.60

Similarly with a few exceptions don’t go anywhere near British airways. Emirates and ANA also just jacked up their fees/fuel surcharges.

CSP I only had 1 flight option so that was the only choice I had I think, unless I missed another way to book for better value

Hi All,

Was just told to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable biz strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact: we have a large product innovation, digital engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?
