Split outbound and inbound across different programs?
I'm curious what most of you all do now that most award programs use one-way tickets. I have a choice of either 2 one-ways on UA or 1 on UA and the other on AA. No advantage to either though AA fees are $175 more total for our 5 pax (and actually that's not nothing). Most of my points are in Chase UR and Amex MR. My gut is telling me to split them up b/c next time around I'll have more options for outbound and inbound. I'm not saving up for a particular trip but those AA points are harder for me to get than UR/UA. On the other hand UR points are more valuable to me bc of their flexibility.

What do you all do? Split things up or go all in with one?
