not really worth it for domestic transfers (eg: southwest, redemption is mostly at a fixed rate where 1UR redeems to about $0.012-0.018/point, so UR portal might be better)
your base redemption rate would be 0.015 (@ travel portal). should never redeem UR for statement credit at 0.01/point.
Not sure if I am happy about 1.5 cent redemption rate in their portal as they price hotels much higher than what are available through Expedia or hotel websites... Defeats the purpose.
