If thats true then it doesnt pay to use any CC if all 1 earns is 1x. I happen to disagree and think its OK even at 1x at times. UA took 100k for a BF tkt to Europe, that would mean buying 200 VRs @ $500 each that would mean paying $790 in fees . So a BF tkt to Europe for $790 isnt a good deal? Yea there may be better deals but Ink @ 1x is still a viable option depending what you plan to do with the pts Transfer 25k in pts to Hyatt and get a night at say the Park Hyatt in Paris , 50 VRs @ $500 each,fees of $197.50 bet you cant get a room at that Hyatt for anything near that
im not saying that Ink doesnt have better usage but even at 1x it works for many folks
