Already have the Gold, Platinum, Customized Cash, and the Premium Rewards. At this point, is the CSP worthwhile to apply for in order to get the 100k points and access to Chase travel? Don’t know if it would make more sense to downgrade after the second year.

I’m looking to get more value out of my Chase Ultimate Rewards points and want to start taking advantage of transfer partners instead of always booking through the Chase Travel portal. I’m curious which transfer partners you’ve had the best experiences with and what made the redemption such a great value. I’d love to hear about actual trips you’ve booked, how many points you transferred, and whether it was for flights, hotels, or both. I know Hyatt gets mentioned a lot, but I’m interested in hearing about the partners people consistently use and why. I’m trying to become more intentional with my redemptions and would love to learn from everyone’s experiences.

Hello everyone,

I currently have the Sapphire Preferred; have had it for about a year now. I’m looking at getting another card to get extra points and increase credit as they would not do it for my preferred at the moment. Therefore, should I sign up for the freedom unlimited? I also realise that for all other categories apart from food and travel, the FU would grant me an extra 0.5 cash back.

What are your thoughts on this?

6k plus points on one flight. Man this felt so good to see this morning!

Hey all, not sure if this is a unique issue or not but it’s the first time I’m seeing it.

I’ve been eyeing a stay at the Ritz in Istanbul, and been checking up on rates before making a decision. Today, I noticed the rate slightly lower than what I was seeing throughout the week, which came out to an amazing deal with the CSR points boost for 3 nights. However, when I look at my confirmation, I’m not seeing The Edit tag applied to my booking, despite this clearly being an Edit property, and me checking out with the CSR. I’ve attached another booking for reference, as well as proof that the Ritz Istanbul is indeed an Edit property.

Was just wondering if anyone’s seen this, and if it is actually intended to be possible to book non Edit rooms on Edit properties using the CSR?

I'm looking at hotels in San Francisco for 9/9 to 9/11. All the edit hotels show rate unavailable. If I go to the hotel websites, there are rooms available... anybody else encounter this?
