So mint is about the same price as United for that week ($1100), so that would also be about 73K points.
I tried BA and Lufthansa for those date (random but selected 3/7 - 3/10) and they both say no avaialbilty. Do I need to select that I am using a partner airline?

There’s a little MB designation for Marriott transfers. MR designation for AMEX transfer. UR designation for Chase transfers.
So if you found availability on Delta, you could transfer Marriott points to Korean Air and spend 45k Korean Air Miles to book that availability.
Same thing if you found availability on United, you could transfer Marriott points to Asiana, all 3 of your programs to Singapore miles to book that space, etc.
To search for availability, it’s probably easiest if you just log in to your United account and see how many United miles it will cost for the redemptions you’re looking for. If you see the ticket is in (I class), you would also be able to use the other programs mentioned in awardhacker to book that space.
I was on my phone so when I saw UR listed under Lufthansa I thought that it was useable. I didnt realize it needed to be highlighted.
So while Delta is 45K points, its a 3:1 transfer, so on regular spending I would need to spend $67.5K in order to get that. And using Marriot would be even more.
With United being a 1:1 transfer from UR and UR earning 1 for every $1, so I would be spending $50k in order to get the points for that ticket.
So if I have extra points to burn, I could use whichever I have extra points on. But if I am seeing which one I get the best value from, it would probably using 50k point transfer from chase (assuming the ticket is 50k).
Thank you
