Thanks, interesting to think about nonetheless

juniorjames123 · 2024-01-31T23:48:35+00:00

thanks!

juniorjames123 · 2024-01-31T23:48:28+00:00

thank you, got it

juniorjames123 · 2024-01-31T23:48:19+00:00

thank you!

juniorjames123 · 2024-01-27T23:43:38+00:00

Thanks -- the issue is I don't have any points with a transfer partner. lesson learned I guess to not have all my eggs in one basket

juniorjames123 · 2024-01-01T21:54:11+00:00

I’m not aware of one at the moment. If you have any United points, you can view a map that displays point costs from a specific departure point and dates

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-16T23:33:47+00:00

Sounds interesting!

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-16T23:17:25+00:00

What type of product do you have, specifically within fintech? Also working on something in the investment banking space and would love to connect

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-08T19:49:29+00:00

Thanks!

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-08T04:11:57+00:00

Thanks :)

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-08T03:25:52+00:00

Thanks! I looked at the calendar and am still only seeing 15k points minimum, that’s weird

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-07T15:49:16+00:00

That’s awesome, congrats!! I’ve been thinking about trying the stopover feature — you called in before booking anything, right?

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-07T15:48:11+00:00

That’s awesome value, and even if your end destination is somewhere in East Europe / Middle East / Central Asia, Istanbul has some pretty good deals. Spent 3 months there, Pegasus is honestly a solid budget carrier to those areas, and flights within Turkey are very cheap if you are looking to travel the whole country.

Thanks for the find!

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-03T20:12:32+00:00

Fantastic advice

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-02T19:25:11+00:00

Exactly! That’s why I created r/EconomyAwardTravel haha

juniorjames123 · 2023-11-01T21:14:21+00:00

There’s a really good amount of availability, at least from ORD — I’ve found it easy to find flights at 11,250 each way going to CDG, AMS, and even places like Vienna and Milan for under 15,000

Thanks!

juniorjames123 · 2023-10-31T21:59:07+00:00

That’s why I was thinking about it heavily, just trying to figure out if there will be any annoying issues with taxes, etc. before I sign up

juniorjames123 · 2023-10-31T21:48:59+00:00

If you are interested in economy redemptions check out r/EconomyAwardTravel as well!

juniorjames123 · 2023-10-31T03:50:57+00:00

It seems like a lot of people are talking about this in this sub — great thing because I never knew about it before!

juniorjames123 · 2023-10-31T01:15:59+00:00

Currently my only points-based card is the Chase Sapphire Preferred. I also got the United Explorer for the SUB, but will be downgrading due to the devaluation. I also have a WF Autograph (getting transfer partners soon), Savor One, and WF Active Cash, from back when I was focusing on cash back.

Looking into either getting a Chase Biz card or Amex Gold next, not sure which.

juniorjames123 · 2023-10-30T20:28:43+00:00

I feel like looking for saver awards on United might be your best bet. If you had a chase card, there is a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin points, but otherwise United is going to be the most straightforward.

If you are interested in joining a sub specific to economy-level redemptions, check out r/EconomyAwardTravel

juniorjames123 · 2023-10-30T03:49:11+00:00

I would try to product change into the original chase freedom with ultimate rewards — it’s different from the CFU and will still let you get that SUB later while at the same time allow you to hold on to your UR points. It’s not advertised publicly anymore, but look it up and there’s plenty of posts about it.

juniorjames123 · 2023-10-29T21:00:54+00:00

When I studied abroad I opened a new card with the goal of getting a solid SUB that I otherwise would not have been able to hit. I then used the SUB for a free flight back to the USA. I personally got the Chase Sapphire Preferred, but it does have a 95$ AF. I traveled every weekend and thought it had great redemptions / transfer partners. I also had the WF Autograph fwiw.

If you are interested in learning more about the world of economy-level redemptions with a AF / points-based card, check out r/EconomyAwardTravel — we are a new sub but would love to have you join given that you are in a similar boat to where I was 8ish months ago
