What do with my UR points?

lexrjSD — Tue, 18 Mar 2014 07:57:29 GMT

I'm about to pc my CSP but I still have 10k points on it. Does 10k get me anything besides crappy merchandise? Maybe it's best worth it if I transfer to Southwest? That's the only airline I travel more frequently....

Some options: You can txr to airline or hotel program; tie them to your Amazon account and spend them like cash (they will show up as payment option when you log into Amazon); cash them out as a gift card(s) (10,000 points = $100) on UR mall; spend them toward airfare where they count as 120%, e.g.10,000 points = $120. The first and last option must be exercised before your PC, I believe, because they are benefits unique to CSP.

Transfers generally yield more per point.

Certain Ink cards can transfer as well.

I think the best value at that level will be either southwest (should cover once way wanna get away just about anywhere domestic) or Hyatt. You can definitely get a free night in a decent Hyatt for 10k points.

I can definitely vouch for the Southwest option. I haven't stayed at a Hyatt, but that makes sense.

Transfer to Brittish Airways and get 1 free r/t flight under 650 miles away (4.5k each way)

Or send them to me.

This was going to be my suggestion. Or transfer them to whatever hotel / miles program you are going to use going forward.
