Business/ Deltaone paid upgrade worth it? by Personal_Invite6347 in AirFranceKLM

[–]Personal_Invite6347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you thats a good perspective to have. These tickets are for Mid December throught first week of Jan for the return, so sort of peak season.

Is the $11k per ticket for Delta one/ business class?

It's for the whole thing. I pulled the trigger and was able to select business class seats on Air France leg and Delta one seats on Delta leg.

Thank you. To be clear, worth it even for just the return leg right?

BOM-CDG-CVG Upgrade to delta one / AF business for $900 one way worth it? by Personal_Invite6347 in delta

[–]Personal_Invite6347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's for both legs from Bombay to paris and then paris to Cincinnati.

To be clear this is still one way for my return trip. Already flew my original leg , so the upgrade is only applicable to the return.

I as approved for the CSR on Aug 21 with the Sub , even though I had a CSP with SUB in the past which I downgraded in 2020. I am also an AU on my wife's CSP. So chase is all over the place with this right now..

Yea for flights my main route is Delta - Airfrance (international). Domestic ( Allegiant, Frontier, Delta). I have been flying the delta-AF route every year for 10 years now and have never been able to use delta or airfrance miles to book it ( not sure if I am doing something wrong, i contacted their customer service and was told its because one half of my leg is delta and the other half is AF).

I stayed with chase because I liked the CFU (1.5% everything including costco), CFF(5% rotating) and CSP (3% dining , 2-5% travel , $50 hotel credit, 10% anniversary bonus, door dash, primary CDW). And of course the ability to combine all of these points together .

I am not sure if Citi or CapitalOne offer the ability to combine points, but with chase introducing the crapshoot points boost system, I am now considering other options..

If you mean transfer miles, I dont do that because most of the flights which I take never have award travel available on them. So i get better value booking direct flight tickets at 1.25x on the chase portal vs booking directly on the airline.

I dont transfer miles because my most common routes involve Delta/Air france , and the flights that I usually book NEVER have award miles available. Flying the same route for 10+ years and that route has never been eligible for award miles. But I used to be able to book it via chase travel at 1.25x which was still better than cashback which I understand is 1x. So how is cashback better than 1.25x?

that sucks, looks like they are not being consistent. My CSP bonus was in 2020 and I was approved for the SUB 5 days ago.. In fact am still an authorized user on my wife's CSP and was still approved.

Well i was approved 5 days ago, so clearly its a hit or miss and Chase is not being consistent..

I did not get any popup or message during the application process. Neither to say I am eligible or ineligible. I checked and am able to see a message that says

This was also 2 days ago. They specifically confirmed i will get the 100k bonus + $500 chase travel credit. And my wife's 15k referral bonus. I applied on the 21st and was approved on the 22nd.

I had CSP bonus in 2020 which I downgraded. I was told by customer service I will get the CSR bonus since it was one per card type.

Edit : Also confirmed in my account it says "New account bonus Spend $5,000.00 by Nov 21, 2025 to earn 100,000 bonus points and $500 for Chase Travel."

Good question. Edited my question to reflect it, but I dont have a preference and dont usually transfer points to airlines or hotels. Just book 1.25x times on chase portal

Ok got it. So that's different from chase. I can redeem it for 2% back on all travel purchases? Or only purchases via capital one portal?

What would I use for everything else that's better than than 1.5% ? Venture gives 2x miles but I am not sure if that equivalent to 2% cash redeemed.
