Spend 66000 United Miles OR 45000 Chase Points on a round trip flight - Which should I do?

Go with United miles and save the chase points for a trip where United doesn’t have a direct flight

So you have CSR which gives 1.5 cpp or CSP which gives 1.25 cpp, meaning the flight is in the ballpark of $675 or $560.

The latter is definitely a bad idea for your United miles (under 1 cpp). If it’s the former, it’s still low imo but could be worth it if you have a lot of UA miles and are concerned for the upcoming award chart removal.

I’d say use the 45K UR points or book in cash. Important to note that both options will count as a revenue fare and earn UA miles/PQM

I don’t remember how much but i remember it was marginal

I agree with D2 for the most part especially if you have a lot of UA miles or think you can earn UA miles faster to replenish. But also what’s the breakout if you do two one-ways? Normally if I can’t decide then I’d price check that a one-way doesn’t hike up the cost that much and you can use half UA and half Chase.

We can’t assume he has the CSR.. sounds like he has the CSP

To clarify, I have CSR

Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”? Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)
