Seeking Advice on Award Point Redemption Options for LAX to LIH
What would be the best points to use to travel to lih in nov of 2017? I have amex, chase, Alaskan, and citi points. Looking to use these points for the whole trip. I also have a 300 travel credit from my csr card.

You have to spent $$ on travel before your Dec. stmt. posts if you want to get the $300 credit on CSR for 2016.

As someone new to UR, I wonder whether you would still recommend this option if one was seeking an F seat? Thanks.

No. BA charges 50K Avios for a one-way in F for a nonstop from the West Coast to Hawaii on AA or AS. If one can find lowest-tier award seats on DL or UA, then redeeming KE or SQ miles (respectively) would be a cheaper option -- as long as one has points that transfer to KE or SQ.
