PC points worth 1 cent each??
I have a room booked at Holiday Inn Mayfair in London for 25,000 points a night. Lowest cost for those nights, and that is advance pay rate, is US$399.
So, you could say, I got at least $1,200 out of the points, with 5K left over toward a points break night someplace later on.
For me, that was worth a credit pull. But then, I knew what I wanted to do with these points before I applied.

Anyone used PC points for airlines? How do they stack up?

Personally, if my main interest was in airline miles, I would first look at any Chase cards I did not have that either gave me miles directly, as with UA or SW cards or indirectly though ultimate reward points such as with Sapphire Preferred, Freedom, and the Ink cards that provide sign up bonuses that may be transferred to UA, BA, SW, etc though the ultimate rewards points.

I got my card about 5 wks ago. The statement is coming up soon, so I guess I'll get my 80K points then. But I already got Platinum status; is it strange to get the status before the points?
Anybody know if the 80K offer is still valid? My fiance might apply.
