8/25 Current Point Sales

Current Point Sales

  1. Buy JetBlue miles at 1.97c/mile through 8/31
  2. Buy Marriott points at 1c/mile until 9/15
  3. Buy Hilton points at 0.5c/point through 9/18
  4. Buy Hyatt points at 1.68c/point through 9/30


Always be mindful of getting a better return on points than what you spend on them. For e.g., only spend 100,000 Hilton points on a property if the cash rate is more than $500, otherwise you are better of just using the cash you spent on points on the cash rate.

That is even better than the Chase Sapphire Reserve pay with points feature and can be better than transferring points to an airline to book the flight as an award on many occasions. Without this feature, you can book a $100 flight for 10,000 Amex points but with the feature, the same flight will cost you only 6,500 points. That is much lower than paying, say an award price of 12,50...
