I transfer mine to United to book flights. It takes patience and time to check reward flights, but it’s saved a me ton of money. This is my last trip’s value and cost.

For United it works for me. Chase Sapphire Preferred points to United, so I’m still ok with the 1.21 valuation.

If you're redeeming points in the Chase travel portal, that's your mistake. Never do that.

The best redemptions will always be moving points to transfer partners. Hyatt has always been a 2-3x redemption for me. Business class flights are even higher, but also much more difficult to get (and one way flights are inflated so the "real" redemption is less than what people may claim).

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

like

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?
