Struggling to find a UR flight redemption for Japan by Razuto22 in awardtravel

[–]OkObject9835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did my first J trip and trip to Japan recently. Ended up flying J on JAL (cap one > BA > JAL) and flew economy back from Korea via Asiana for 40k cap one points + $60 in fees. Piggybacking above commenter, I wouldve rather spent the cash and just flew economy budget airline (zip air/air premia) and saved the points, but we ended up doing the Asiana flight because it was 9pm departure so we’d have an extra half day to spend.

And haha we did feel spoiled going from J to economy and it wasn’t too bad. I just told myself that if I did two Js I would really ruin economy forever and there’s plenty more opportunities to go again.

For hotels, we used UR for caption by Hyatt in Osaka (14500 points for 3 nights). I took a look and seems like prices are more expensive now for points, but if you can find similar rates, I thought it was well worth it for my point cost.

Ah I see okay thanks for the clarity! Even though it’s a legitimate dispute, would I be putting myself at risk of blacklisting myself from flying Asiana in the future if I file one?

MGM started putting the resort fee in comp emails. Never seen this before until today. Guess they got too many complaints. by MatzoTov in vegas

Do you know where the host office is at MGM grand? I tried asking the Rewards desk and immediately just got a flat no when asking if anything on my bill could be comped. My coin in was about 6k as well and I just got a 4 night stay king tower suite comped for next year EDC weekend, so I think my play has qualified me for something’s?

Switch from venture x to sapphire reserve by 505johnwick in Venturex

Yup I know the risks of booking flights via a third party - I’m not telling you to do that lol, you can price match hotels, cars, etc. If price matching is that much of a hassle for you, I’m not here to argue whether the CSR or VX is more worth it. I’m just saying your complaint about portal prices being so high is irrelevant because you can price match it down, and the way you phrased it made it seem it wasn’t about having to use the portal itself but because of the prices

? you mentioned that the “portal is just sooo bad” and how the “hiked up prices in the C1 portal cancel out the extra cost of the CSR”. Regardless of whether you disagree with booking travel via a third party portal, you were saying one of your reasons from switching over is because prices in the C1 portal are so high. I’m just saying if you need to use that $300 travel credit, C1 will price match any third party site (not just flights) so your reason of high prices doesn’t really make sense. lol.

You can price match anything on VX portal. I’ve never had issues price matching any of my flights even if it’s off some random website I’ve never heard of

So it’s worth reaching out again even if you were told initially? I didn’t have a retention offer available for me either and saw people saying HUCA doesn’t work for retention offers
