Hey guys,
I need a bit of advice. I have 75k chase ultimate reward points. My question is, how could I go about getting 2 round-trip tickets to Brazil? Is this even enough points for that? maybe 1 ticket and pay for the other one?
I just received 70k points from my chase ink plus $5k sign up offer

Your best bet would be 50k RT to rio from JFK on BA avios, which trasnfer to either LAN or AA that don't charge fuel surcharges i believe. You probably will need to put some spending on your Ink Plus to get the extra 25k .

it is but i think if you have ink plus or CSP there are better ways to get better value for your UR points. This is a bit off topic but i am actually thinking of using my UR points for business class or first on SQ. I know this sounds totally ridiculous but i was thiking of using it for one of their suites seats to Europe.

I signed up on their site and mocked up terminals and dates: BWI to MNL for first class, I even clicked on "Pay with KrisFlyer points" but the bill still shows in USD instead of points...
sidenote: their 1st class was $16k while business was $25k -- mind. blown.
You can look at their award chart to see how many miles are for each . For east coast USA to phillipines its 85k Business OW and 110k first class one way. Thats for saver awards. It isn't cheap to fly on singapore air lol. Its probably not the best value but i wanted to try it out and see what its like lol. Another thing I forgot to mention about singapore air i think they have 15% discount on travel.
Another thing to consider for BWI-MNL if you really belive the rumors that korean air is coming back. Thats an much better option they have really nice business and first class product. Business is only 135k and first is 180k an fair bit cheaper than it would be flying on singapore air.
