Best BOS to SFO on points?
Looking to make a trip out to the west coast in July and use a few points I have sitting in my AA or Amex account. Going BOS to SFO, best I could find is Delta for 35k RT. Seems kind of high considering I know they go as low as 25k on some charts. Any advice from someone more experienced on how to book using less points? Thanks!

You're looking at booking an award flight 1-2 months before travel when awards generally open up ~330 days before travel and during peak travel time. You're going to have to go with what's available. DL's "covert" award chart is somewhat reasonable at 35k for the flights.
Beyond that you'd have to go the award booking service route.
