There are good ones. Chase Sapphire is an example, and I think people like Amex too though I don’t use it.

- mvid 4y agoCorrect. Chase and Amex use the prices from the airline. They aren't as good as the scammy aggregators, which try to upsell you further in the purchase process or tell you the price is no longer available
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoDon’t they have more blackout dates than the airlines?
- atdrummond 4y agoFor fare sales or awards? If anything, I find it is the opposite. The US Big 3 have very little inventory open - and what is open is super expensive. (Let’s say $10k worth of airline miles for sake of argument.) You’re better off using CC points for tickets through the card’s OTA where you can get the above $10k itinerary for $2k worth of points - and since the value per point is known and fixed, this price is never a surprise.
- scarface74 4y agoThere are no good travel portals. If you need to change anything or if there are any issues, going through a portal is alway a pain compared to booking directly. Amex in particular for domestic flights have Delta and JetBlue as a partner. You get much better value by transferring to one of those two than booking through a portal. You will only get 1 cent per point by using the portal. You can routinely get 1.2 - 1.5 cents per point for Skymiles
