My goal is accumulation of IHG points for stays at the IC Thalasso Bora Bora yearly.

I don't tend to use UR for anything else.

So IHG points (UR earned with chase ink plus at staples and then transferred to IHG) are now $.0071 or so. I can buy IHG points all day at $.007 using book/cancel technique.

If I wanted UR for something else, I suppose this is useful still, but what are you using UR for that you think is useful?
I've transferred them to Hyatt account or Park Hyatt in Milan. Transfer was almost immediate. Also transferred some to UA account for last minute need for ticket. Both of these transactions were deposited very quickly.
