Preparing for a honeymoon next year and here is my points breakdown, is this an accurate estimate? This is combined for both of us.

Chase: 472k (~$5k)
Amex: 110k (~$800)
Marriott: 300k (~$2.5k)
Hyatt: 50k ($400)
IHG: 80k ($400)
Delta: 206k ($500)

It depends. I wouldn’t want to hotel hop on my honeymoon, so I wouldn’t add Marriott to Hyatt to IHG.

I’d just figure out what you want to do, then figure out how to use points to see if you can make it happen.

Yeah for sure we’d just chase what the best deal would be at that point in time depending on the hotel we’re thinking 3/4 weeks total so we may end up hopping around anyway (last week for relaxation).

To your point might be best to see what we can make work, it’s how we’ve done it before and it’s always worked out for us in the past, thank you !!

Transfer the Chase to Hyatt and stay at one of their resorts

How are you getting these values? Even at the most conservative of 1.5 if you redeemed chase through their portal (assuming you have a reserve) that many points would be at least 7K.

For chase and Amex normally the best value is by transferring your points

No one can tell you an estimate because it depends on what you’re using the points for and how many points your preferred things will cost- not by the dollar value

like

Was just being conservative but this makes
sense. Thank you!!

The Amex can transfer to Hilton or Marriott and if you catch it in a special increase the amount (I just had 100k points converted to 280k with Hilton a couple months ago bc of a promotion they had)

like

Great idea! I’ll keep an eye out

What's the point of the values? Are you selling them to fund the honeymoon?

A few years back we booked round trip first class flights from NYC to Seoul on Korean Air for 200k. Cash price when I booked was $16k. So that’s 8 cents per point, a fantastic value. Plenty of way worse ways to use those same points so they’d have a much lower value.

This is great feedback yall, I appreciate the responses and overall just seems it depends on mostly where we can get the best price / if that’s what we even want to do. Thank you!!

Move the chase over to Marriott.

They had a double point transfer promo earlier this year but I wasn’t going to use them so held off. Good idea to keep a lookout for that again next year though !

How do you get so many chase points
