Re: Chase Sapphire Preferred upgrade - Thoughts???

Which partners are good? My wife has over 200,000 UR just sitting. We only use UR for Hyatt since Korean air went MIA.

I think CSP is useless without the sign up bonus. I'll rather churn that card every 26 months. Chase does not have any transfer partners that are interesting with Korea airline MIA.

i am really disappointed with KE gone as chase partner, but i still do think hyatt and ual are still interesting partners. I know UAL devalued their points but i still like being able to fly UAL or one of their partners with minimal fuel surcharges. Hyatt can have some decent value compared to Marriot , hilton, Ritz Carlton etc.

I don't think Korean air will come back. They probably don't want churner on their first class seats. They got a imagine to uphold.

I am in the camp that doesn't believe they will come back either, so i am probably downgrading my csp to CS if they still allow that. I will have to think about what to do with my ink  plus for later in the year. I have even been thinking about maybe of replacing CSP with citi premeir for the bonus spending on dining which i seem to do an lot of.

Re: Chase Sapphire Preferred upgrade - Thoughts???

You and me think alike. I was looking at that card so that I can transfer the points to Cathay Pacific or Singapore air.

Same boat in terms of having Ink and CSP. I'm going to downgrade to CS (once I get the 7% for 2014) because I will have a balance due when the statement cuts in a few days. I figure I will downgrade it and pay it off by the due date and then SD it for a few months. That way I will be able to transfer the max amount of credit over to my Freedom and cancel. For dining I actually have the hyatt card which gives 2x per dining. Since I will likely use a number of URs with hyatt I guess I will use that, but I am going to look at the citi prem in the spring when I am ready to app again. In the summer my ink bold will be up for renewal and I think I will app for the ink plus for the bonus and get rid of the bold. I'd rather have a revolver for my business instead of a charge card anyway.

i have my cathay business class points put aside already :-) from citi aa and barclays us airways app. Thing i like about singapore is that an lot of cards have ways to transfer i believe MR, UR , SPG and TYP all have access to transferring to krisflyer points. I am thiking of maybe using UR to transfer to singapore since KE is gone.

Re: Chase Sapphire Preferred upgrade - Thoughts???

The smart move is citi typ with their ever increasing transfer partners. Entertaining clients is pretty expensive. I want all the points I can get and citi has great business cards.

Is that the best airline redemption for UR points? How does United stack up? I got some miles in my account already so I was thinking of maybe topping them off for a domestic flight or something. Also want to use URs maybe for a future europe trip.
