Glad to see I'm not the only one. If lots of people are experiencing this, must be a glitch.

Hmm, or maybe they've found a way to close all FTers accounts

Webazoid, can you explain this to me in a little more detail? thank you.

Chase Website Down

When I go to the Chase page, I get a page that says website is down and gives phone numbers to call for various issues, so this is an universal outage, not aimed for specific users.

Talking The gig is up!

Grab your passport, prized possessions, cash in your points, and flee as quickly as possible!

Lol....

I think people are over reacting here about this. I think you are ok if you are not trying to cycle money or sell your points.

if i'm not mistaken, when u buy a coach ticket on orbitz/priceline/travelocity/etc, it's non refundable if u can't make it.

on the other hand, if it's through AA or UA with frequent flier miles, if u cancel, and pay a fee, (i think it's $150), you'll get your miles refunded to you.

anyone like to comment?

I know most of you see UA and Hyatt as the best value to transfer UR points into.

My issue is that I have plenty of UA miles and I rarely use Hyatt,as they are generally not convenient to my locations.

Has anyone found other redemption options to be almost as valuable?

I found that redeeming them for Amazon GCs that later got me my Android Tablet was a good value. But that's just me. I didn't need more UA miles.

Amtrak can be a great value.
Also, for very specific uses, transfers to BA can be very valuable (although you're better off transferring from MR points to get the 50 pct bonus)

What he means is that if he buys a nonrefundable ticket for cash, he's out the money (or at the very least must reschedule within a year) if he doesn't take the trip. If he books the seat with miles, he can redeposit the miles for a fee. No trick here, just one factor in the cash v miles calculation that some don't take into account. If you're only probable to make a trip, but want to make sure you'll be holding seats in case you do, booking with miles is better than booking with cash.
