Didn't seem too bad to me, but I am new to all this.
Booking UR is different than an airline reward flight. UR is essentially the same as paying in cash while reward flights are done with airline points and subject to surcharges

Got both of my parents referrals for CSP cards and still haven't got the points. This is honestly some baby back BS

Care to share the specifics on your FIJI/ Australia trip? That is on the bucket list also.
40K Alaska miles on Fiji air: DFW-PDX-NAN (Stopover) - SYD (destination)
47.5K AA miles to get back
During Fiji Stopover - going to hop over to Vanuatu using 8K (one way) Quantas miles on Air Vanuatu.
BA avios to hop around Australia on QF or Etihad miles for Virgin Australia.

London round-trip in business 137,500 Avios + $1,140, and economy ticket will cost 41,250 Avios + $732

Yeah that is literally the first thing I checked on ITA

Always use AA miles for flights to Europe. Avois are best used for direct domestic flights.

All starting to make sense now with Alaska transfers after looking at the AS Mileage chart and regions.
BTR or MSY/Japan or Korea 100K + $150 rt on American Airlines for two seems like a great deal.
How do I get Alaska miles? Any way from UR?

Yeah I think that's off peak pricing.
AS miles from BoFA cards or SPG transfer

How long has it been since your last AS application? I saw on R/C someone claim denial based on already having the card.

7/26. Looooooong recon though. Got both approved in the end.

What is the process of transfering my Chase Freedom points to my CSP? I am starting to get Freedom Emails asking me to redeem for a gift card.
I will be doing it big for Auburn's bowl game this year.

Yeah but can't avoid BA YQ with AA either.
When it comes to awards to Europe, filter out BA or even London completely.

Was it your third personal? Its about that time for me to recomplete the trifecta.

3rd personal and 3rd business.

How long until Chase phases out the Ink 5x card?
I want to downgrade from Ink+ to Inkcash to avoid the AF. Don't know if I can make it

Ink+ has been my one permanent pay-the-fee Chase card for the last few years, which I was considering phasing out now that I have a CSR, but now I'm a little antsy...
Fortunately (what am I saying?) I just paid my annual fee a couple of months ago, so I have some time to figure it out.

There is the Ink Cash no AF which is the same for $25k/year spend instead of $50k

This is true but...sometimes there are exceptions that make it worthwhile.
For instance, I was looking at going to Italy on BA next March. If I flew out of Philly the fees were under $200 for first class despite the fact that I was flying on BA through Heathrow.

Hmm. Seems like that flight just includes the government fees and lower fuel surcharge from BA. On the MSY-LHR flight it was something like $530 of BA imposed fuel.
