My wife and I have almost 350k UR points between us and we decided we want to go to Costa Rica next year.
My problem is I have ZERO idea on how to redeem this points for air travel or hotels and what not. All this talk about transferring or using the chase portal makes me even more confused.
Can someone break it down into simple terms what the best way to use our points would be?

I'm jealous.
I don't know the ins and out of the program or which airlines are best for Costa Rica, you can search and see if there's some partner airlines that are better and then transfer your points to them and get the rates better than going directly through the airline. Example, I transfer 25,000 points to Korean and that will buy me a RT ticket from Hawaii to the mainland on Delta. If I were to book directly with Delta it would be more than double that. You can do similar with Avios booking with AA or AS although they don't seem to have much availability.
The other option is to just book through the Chase portal if you're too confused or don't want to do all the transferring. Call them if you have questions but you can go to the website as well.

Can be difficult to put in simple terms. With how low flight prices can be to Costa Rica I could make the argument to not use them at all for that trip.

My wife and I just got back from South Africa - did business class there and back.
We had the same problem figuring out how to use points. (Had about 270K UR and 90K MR)
We ended up using a service that does all the legwork for finding the award flights, and you pay him $100 per person.
To me it was well worth it.

Hope this helps.
