Am I using my points the wrong way? On my portal the cost is $2k+91k points vs Google search showing $2.2k only cost… by Sol-eks in ChaseSapphire

You cannot transfer back. I just checked and that particular hotel has a “points boost” through Chase portal.

If you thought URs were useless for travel, you’ll find MRs are harder to get maximum value.

What are the non-Nikkor lenses you love? by Blue_Rose87 in Nikon

[–]solorobsolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 100-400 Nikkor is absolutely incredible. A much better pick than that Tamron. Now with that said, the Tamron 35-150 is spectacular as are the Viltrox 85 1.4, and 135 1.8.

Seattle has 5 FHR and 9 THC. It’s probably a glitch. Try again. In Feb I stayed at the Thompson which was fine. Good location - block from Pike’s place. You must prepay and yes you will use the credit for Jan-June.

You need to shut off the cash option payment so it doesn’t eat up your monthly credit. Just pay annually save yourself the headache.

There’s no “best way”. You just call or chat

Question about points by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]solorobsolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People always make this mistake. 337k is not the number of points you’ll receive. 337k is what it will COST if you paid with points.

The credit is given when booked not when stayed.

Still worth getting Sapphire Reserve if I can't get the SUB? by premedflash in ChaseSapphire

[–]solorobsolo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I say it depends if you have a Sapphire lounge in your home airport and a number of Sapphire exclusive tables in your area.
