Booking Star Alliance flights (mostly United)
I have 300k+ Capital One Points. I don't plan on earning any more. I book most of flights with United, which isn't a transfer partner of United. I am thinking of dumping my points into Aeroplan so I can close that card down. I'm pretty good at booking flights at the cheap rate on United, because most trips I'm very flexible on travel dates. I do have a Chase card which opens up more of the saver awards (12,500 miles).
My question is how successful do you think I will be booking saver United tickets with a stash of 225,000 Aeroplan miles?
