Best Econ award redemption NYC-FLR using UR
 
Hi All,

Was hoping someone might be able to help me with a trip I'm putting together from NYC-FLR. There will be two of us going, likely in economy. We have tons of UR points, so looking to transfer from there.

What's the cheapest/best value award ticket for this from using Ultimate Rewards?

Thanks!!

United 60k each. If you can find a fare below ~$800, though, it would probably be better to pay with points (@1.25c each) and earn miles on the ticket.

I thought UR points were 1.20c each? 20% bonus...?

Chase advertises a "20% discount" which is arithmetically identical to a "25% bonus". 1 point = $0.0125 if you hold a Sapphire Preferred, Ink Bold, Ink Plus or JP Morgan Select card.


You always get 20% off when you redeem your points for airfare, hotels, car rentals and cruises. For example, a $500 flight requires just 40,000 points. Booking vacation just got a little more enjoyable.
$500 / 40,000 = $0.0125
