This is a great thread

I have a questions for the posters
I have a chase sapphire card with 48K points on it. I'm looking to book an international flight through their reward website and found the flight cost exactly the same price as booking through any other carrier. When i try to reserve the flight they say my 48K points are worth about 600$. Is that right? is there a way to maximize the earned points? Is transferring the points to an airline makes it worth more money?

thanks

I've never actually booked through the rewards site, but generally speaking there is quite a bit more value in transferring direct to carrier.

I don't know if you are eligible to upgrade to the Sapphire Preferred and receive the bonus, but if you are or offered any bonus I would recommend that so you could transfer to the carrier.

The regular Sapphire won't allow you to transfer.
