What's better: cashing out my CSR points or using it for travel slowly?

Recommend doing the analysis. What are you cashing out for? Do you plan to cancel CSR?

No. But $2k short term versus $2.5k in uncertain long term output - it's a question of short versus long term

Cash redemption is like 1 cent a point. While if you use the travel rewards your looking at 1.5 cents. If you transfer the points, you could get over 2 cents a point... that's a lot of money 💰.

Sure... hence my question. Depends what you want to do with that money as well as your tolerance for uncertainty I guess

Wait two cents to transfer? Transfer to what? I'm not sure what I want to do. Traveling looks less fun now that I do it every week lol

Two cents if you redeem it through say Hyatt. Yeah it might not be as fun to travel with your current schedule. But if you can get a good redemption option for say a week long vacation in Hawaii, it could be worth a ton.

Two cents to transfer (theoretically). Say you need 25k for a domestic flight, and all options for cash tickets are $500+. You just broke the 2 cent redemption barrier

That 2k in points is worth at least $3,500

Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!
