However, if you can transfer your miles into British Airways Avios you can get a huge bang for the buck because BA bases their points use schedule on the distance of the flight.


Interesting. I only travel for work about 6-8 weeks a year so I don't have many miles, and lately, most of my travel has been on SWA.

I have about 25k miles on United, and I have 120k UR points. If I wanted to use miles/points towards a flight to Europe, would I be better off getting the CSP and transferring the 120K to United or just booking through Chase?

ETA: I also have 350K Marriott points. I doubt that would factor into the equation at all, but it will be nice to book a few rooms in Europe with those.

Transfer 95k UR points to United.
Did you earn points through Ink cards?

Google United Open Jaws and stopover rules. Can really add value/convenience to the price of your Europe flight.

You can also transfer Marriott points to certain airlines but it's like 3 Marriott points for 1 mile.

United is probably your best bet to transfer the UR points. What's interesting about British Airways Avios is that they are fantastic to use to fly with a OneWorld partner but they absolutely suck to use for a British Airways flight.
