Yeah BCG great point. But I wanted to use those points to make a purchase that I probably normally wouldn't. Thinking of buying Bose headphones or a Tumi suitcase/bag.

Please don't use them as cash or gift cards. Transfer them to an airline 80k points = 80k miles = Business one way US to Asia or 3 domestic roundtrips in the US. Check out travel blogs for usage

Banana republic is good.. I always just use them for the multitude of personal Uber rides I take

Generally the cash value of gift cards are better than the actual items - so if you want something like that get a gift card to a store (e.g. Best Buy)

Uber or Amazon. Both give you the best value, just add your card to both and they'll show you the value.

Transfer to your airline or hotel

only deplorables would use their points on anything other than high yield international premium cabin seats or hotel stays. Hyperbole of course, but seriously, don't waste them on Uber rides or a bag at a .7c value

My winter coat was stolen from a bar last year 😢 so using my points to replace it. That way I don't feel too bad about how much money it is (need something super warm but still stylish for brutal NY arctic freezes)

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
