Like you mentioned, the Hopper portal let's you select how many points to apply after you enter in the traveler info and it checks the flight availability once more.
Mind enlightening me why you paid with points instead of redeeming the points
after the flight posts? I thought you're rewarded more by spending cash (5x) as compared to other portals that encourage point spending in the portal like Chase Ultimate Rewards.
