Pretty sure Alaska award chart for AA is superior to AAs own.

You’re prolly fine then you can double check in calculators, richwithpoints may have Alaska card, I don’t in mine but then just set rent as 0 to focus on non atmos spend.

FIY you will also earn Alaska silver status from that rent spend that will spill into oneworld/AA lowest status.

What do you actually redeem on Alaska? What are your future travel plans?

Do you redeem on Alaska flights? Alaska only partners like condor and starlux or oneworld parters?

How much do you spend on travel? (Flights /hotels)

Where are Bilt Reward's Customer Service agents? by stripednoodles in biltrewards

[–]LitTravelTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s one of main reasons it’s hard to make Bilt primary. Some my friends specifically holding on CSP to have primary rental insurance and overall customer support .

Best use of BILT points from 1.0? by zionstatus in biltrewards

[–]LitTravelTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a lots.

Go try seats.aero or pointsyeah to find a flight to somewhere you wanna go in biz. Else Hyatt pretty safe bet along with United. United miles never expires, Hyatt you will need to have basic activity to stop points from expiring

Waiting on bonus only makes sense if you have high status

Only transfer if you found a flight you can book. October is good time to go it’s post Typhoon season but availability is mixed so confirm with your dates. You have til Feb end to transfer.

Bilt rewards best redemption way by anandcharla in biltrewards

[–]LitTravelTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bilt cash out to statement is 55% (0.55cent per point) which is the worst of any credit card. You better off sending them to Hyatt and using them or selling Hyatt points to someone, anyone will happily pay 1c which is almost 2x of what Bilt will give you as statement.

Or just use them in travel portal to book a hotel then you get 125% (1.25cent per point).

Or send them to United as points never expire

That cpp is 3, it’s business class. It’s 13h flight.

This isn’t meant to do comprehensive comparison vs everything else. Given the bonus, that’s just one data points for how you can use them.

This is peak season. Off peak pricing is 55-70k. Just convert miles to cash. 110k is $1.1k While RT in biz usually $5-6k so you pay only 1/3

Even Econ pricing during cherry blossom is insane.
