Chase Ultimate Rewards. I'm bad with the acronyms. They are worth more when you redeem through the CSR. I have 4 Chase cards so I pool all my UR into my CSR to book travel.

I cant see how it would be cheaper to transfer out... You get 50% more on your points by booking through UR.

Of course many Chase cards like Ink Preferred are out there.



Considering doing this one, so I can get the 80k points into my UR account where its worth $1200 in travel thanks to the Reserve 50% bonus.


How difficult is it to get the Ink Preferred? I got the SW Business Premier claiming a sole proprietorship, can I do the same with Ink?

can anyone suggest a good transfer card for a mediocre credit score? trying to get my gf to do a transfer for 0% interest for a term so she can get some old debt in line, but she's convinced no CC will offer her the deal (to quote JP, "not bloody likely")

Haven't done it since college, but I remember Discover being pretty good about balance transfers.

Of course, they likely changed, but they were one of them.

I think the second one will be very difficult if you're still showing zero income for the business or something low and not using the one you have.

Well hell, was trying to find a chase product with bonus signup to get the 50% bonus with the reserve.

Ya, it has slowed considerably.

We even have two $700 offers out there with Arrival+ and Cap One.

For those of you who have United Miles, how do you use them? I've had the United MPE card coming up on 2 years and sitting on about $85k points. The only thing I have ever done was use about 5k miles to rent a car one time.

I am in BR and any time I need to fly whether out of BTR or MSY I always check to see the redemption options, and every single time it has been cheaper to just use the Chase Portal and burn UR points instead.

International business class.

I've flown Asiana, Thai, Ethiopian and Swiss for example.

Seriously doubt Chase Portal will beat that

International business class. Sometimes it requires getting to a hub from MSY on my own, or taking a less direct flight, but if I'm in business, then it's relaxing and a memorable part of the trip.

I need to grab something soon... Just spend 125k pts on my Asia trip

I’d like to do the Amex Platinum for 60k, but I got the 100k signup bonus 3yrs ago with hem and they say its a one time thing. Would hate to risk not getting the bonus.

Wouldn’t mind doing something Chase, so I could transfer to UR and get the 50% bonus like I just did.

I could even do United

Really don’t know what the best deals are out there currently.
