SFO->HND? The entire month of March is full of 70k non-stop between those two airports.

I can't get imgur to load otherwise I'd paste a screenshot of it.

Nvm i'm tripping, see it on every monday of the month.

I see it on almost every single day except for the 15th (a Tuesday lol).

What am i doing wrong? You sure you're filtering on nonstop? With stops i'm getting a ton of days that are 70k, but shitty stops.

That's weird. I wonder if I have different fares available to me since I'm 1K?

Use 1 point and get discount.

How does the Platinum AMEX compare to the CSR? Got a pre-approval in the mail with 125k points if you spend $6k in the first 3 months. Seems like the benefits offset the yearly fee pretty well too.

Edit: the fee is $695 so still pretty high even after monthly statement credits for travel fees, etc, but I think if you utilize all of them it's at least $100 more than the annual fee.

Edit: I take that back--the fee is $695 so still pretty high even after monthly statement credits for travel fees, etc.

I couldn’t justify the plat.

The venture x seems like the jam right now. Already used my $300 travel credit. Annual fee of $395 is a bargain.

IME, it was worth getting for the sign up bonus but I didn’t renew it.

If you have a 125k offer it’s worth it at least for the first year. Max out the airline credit and all the others.

Only annoying thing is they don't seem to transfer to United/Hyatt where I have status.

 

[HenrayPG]

I have CSR and chase business ink preferred. I transfer points to CSR for the 1.5 on travel. Does anybody have experience with ink unlimited? It says 1.5% cash back but would it have same points system aside from the 2 and 3 point categories? I don’t use those much so not so worried about the extra points.

Just got my Capital One Venture X 100k bonus

Just got the citi 80k card in the mail.

Shoot me a PM with your referral link. Thanks!

Best use of Amex points is to transfer to one of their travel partners, correct? Trying to utilize my CSR and Amex points to get the most out of them.

 

[Menger]

I need to use my Amex points as well. Been saving them, haven’t used any.

Just got my Capital One Venture X 100k bonus

What's the difference between the Venture and Venture X card?

We have the Venture and over 400k miles on it

 

[aloe]

Have an AA citi card for AA miles currently.

If I want to churn a bonus for miles to transfer to AA travel, what should I go for?

Citi adds American Airlines as a transfer partner for ThankYou points

Citi made American Airlines a new transfer partner. If you fly American Airlines or its partners, your ThankYou points may take you farther.
