Planning a honeymoon to Italy in May. I have about 300k Chase points, 200k Amex points, and am United Platinum but don’t have any PlusPoints. Ideas for best transfer partners or use of the points? Flying from Denver.

Transfer Amex/MR to ANA and fly on UA for 88k round trip in biz per person (need "I" space on UA). You can book LH group flights but taxes&fees will be insanely high.

- Unlimited free date changes up to 1 year from first departure
- Cancellation or routing changes are 3000 miles
- 1 stopover for free
- Double open jaw allowed (say DEN-FCO/NAP-NAP)
- Mixed cabin is allowed (88+55)/2=71.5

Super helpful, thanks A1!

Option 1: Transfer to Aeroplan or Avianca for Star Alliance redemptions.

Option 2: Transfer to United for redemptions on United metal. More expensive than Option 1, but you’ll get PQP. Can be worth it depending on the difference.

Option 3: Avios Transfer for redemption on Aer Lingus or Iberia.

Option 4: AF/KLM transfer for redemptions there.

Those are generally the best/feasible without getting outrageous rates or surcharges. Based on your route, likely Option 1 or 2, but worth checking all. Make sure to check availability before transferring.

Use Chase points on hotels in the Hyatt ecosystem

Good traders tend to be flexible. I can make money in all kinds of markets, being a bull or a bear. Today was a headscratching day. We rallied a lot farther than we should have. We bounced in place's we shouldn't have. So, I have to ask myself? What the hell happened? While I made money today, I should have made lots more money. Remember the tip that markets don't count Pre-NY Mondays. If I decided to do my from last weeks low as opposed to today's low. I'm bullish. Additional info in reply post

They think I should move back when I have more financial security. What more should I plan for ?
