Why? The clause quoted by beltway lists a small number of Delta flights which are excluded. (High numbered flights are typically codeshares operated by other carriers, but I have not verified the list of flights that KE is excluding.) In any event brandkb wants to redeem for travel on AF, not DL.

These are codeshare flights. For example, AF3635 is DL22, ATL-CDG. Excluding this AF flight simply means you would have to redeem for the DL flight number. Same physical aircraft.

Newbie question on the Ultimate Rewards Mall - When using this card to make bookings at a hotel through the Ultimate Rewards Mall, can I use my loyalty program to earn points as well?
I've learned - the hard way - that most hotels don't allow you to earn points when bookings are made through third parties, hence the question. TIA!

Unless you are using points there is no reason to do this. Either book through the hotel's site directly or through the UR mall, many hotels like PC and BW can be found offering extra points for booking through the mall, and you get your regular rewards to vice booking through the UR travel site and only get 3 lousy points instead of something like 5 from Best Western and at one point it was 12 through Priority Club. Hotels.com offers 4 extra and Hotwire offers 2.

I'd take Delta or Air France, as I make trips on both, but most of my miles are with DL. I've redeemed DL miles for AF flights, but I enjoy my Premium Voyageur seats and it gets tricky there when I want to book a reward flight.
Finally logged into UR and I get how the travel booking works now. Much more flexible the the Visa FlexPerks that I just got rid of. No EMV card for me = no reason to keep the card.

They were offering 100K back in June 2011, so maybe they'll do it again? Wishful thinking on my part...

In any event, Chase, very kindly, granted the additional 50K to those who contacted it about the 100K bonus--but only for a few days. Apparently, too many people were trying to climb aboard.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for another 100K opportunity. Grab the 50K while you can.
Then, look at the Chase INK Bold which offers another 50K bonus. @:-)

My loss. I was hesitant since I haven't had great experiences with Chase in the past. Just got my Sapphire Preferred and took advantage of the 50K instead.

I did see that and was surprised. Let's hope more airlines jump on the UR bandwagon.

Two of our Sephora orders placed in October had points missing. Contacted Chase via secure message in November and was told that points will be posted in the next statement, which never happened.
Today contacted them again and the rep apologized and posted points immediately to the account as "adjustment". I have to say after using so many online shopping earning portals, i have the greatest faith in Chase UR. For one, they have fewer transactions going missing and secondly whenever one got missing one or two messages settles it.
