Flight Amounts in Points
  1. Chase - 30K miles
  2. United - 45K miles
  3. Delta - 51K miles
I have a feeling that I should use Delta, since miles usually only drop in value. However, I will be earning Chase and United miles consistently throughout 2024 with multiple $2500 long-haul United flights bought with Chase. I will not be flying with Delta much, so kinda feel like hoarding those miles for routes that are great with Delta, like RDU-DCA.

What are your esteemed thoughts?
1. What are the cash prices ?
2 Do you plan to use chasse points for a Hyatt stay down the road which would most likely net you a better return ?
