If I had thought about cash back as an option I would have incorporated it into the last option. Unfortunately, polls cannot be altered after posting.

I transferred to Skypass for a roundtrip prestige award to Korea this summer.

Agreed, Southwest is actually my second choice after UA. Great when there is a sale compared to UA.

Only to SWA and Amtrak so far. Redemption value is my biggest consideration, and you just can't beat the Amtrak program for that.

I'm just curious as to what the story is behind this poll and why it's so important it gets it's own announcement? just genuinely curious

I topped off for a Southwest award and did the UR shopping portal two years ago when they had the Best Buy clearance sale.

I am teaching myself how to use Flyertalk's poll feature. There's a fair amount of credit card related discussion in MilesBuzz! and I thought it would be more effective to promote the poll there than with an announcement here in Credit Card Programs.

So far only Southwest to top up my account to do the two-step with some old program points that were expiring. Planning United in the future.

Cash- until I discovered CSP and Ink
United
Southwest in combo with their recent sale
Car rentals through the portal
I would do Hyatt. It is kind of a pain because it is difficult to find the point cost pre-transfer.

When the kids get older and we can travel more often and further away I'd probably mostly use them on United - provided they make no major program changes.

Only Hyatt for me as yet, but I'm already sitting on a stack of United. A friend of mine is all about transferring to Southwest.

Haven't redeemed yet but am leaning toward UA and Hyatt transfers. Other option would be to redeem for reduced domestic airfare through their portal, if it makes sense.
