this. i personally prefer the ease of cash back, but my understanding is if you know how to work the points system(transferring to frequent flyer clubs etc) you get better bang for your buck with travel redemption.
That is true. For example, you can get two first tickets to Bangkok from MSY. To generate those points, it could cost you as little as $1800 in expenditures to create enough points to book the tickets. That isn't a terrible cost for booking two economy tickets to Bangkok straight up. However, I'd be booking first class tickets in this scenario, which sell for $24,000.
