If you fly even 1-2x a year then why not fund that trip with one signup bonus from one card vs getting a cash back card (which usually don’t even come with a signup bonus and if they do it’s very small)?
If you don’t want to be tied to one airline card, a Chase Sapphire card which you can use to transfer to airlines or book directly with their reservation portal will give you 1.25 cents per point redeemed on flights or hotels.
- ip26 8y agoI've tried to pay with points before and it never seems to work out advantageously. A $200 bargain basement Southwest flight will cost like 60000 points. Is Southwest, or international for that matter, an anomaly?
- randomacct3847 8y agoThat’s just...wrong. If you transfer to Southwest from Chase or book directly it should be around 15000 points. Both Chase and Southwest have a point value of greater than 1 cent per point, so there’s no way that could be true for a $200 flight.
- ip26 8y agoAlright, I'll look again in the future. At the time I wondered if the 'wanna get away' fare was basically cash only.
