Hi Everyone! First post so please go easy on me =)
I’m planning to go to the Philippines with a stopover in Korea from mid-late February with my husband and would like to do the following:
1) Buy US Airways 50k pts (+50k bonus) for $1750
2) Reinstate my old US Airways 35k pts for $150
3) Transfer 40K UR pts to Marriott (combined with my existing 158k MR) to purchase 50K US Airways pts + 7 nights Cat 5 hotel
4) With the 180K US Airways pts from doing 1, 2, and 3, Purchase 2 Business Class roundtrip tickets (IAD – ICN – MNL – ICN – IAD)
Total $$ spent: $1900
Total MR used (existing): 158K
Total UR used: 40k
My question is…. Is it worth using all of that MR and UR pts used + dollar spent for two roundtrip business class tickets and 7 nights Cat 5 hotel?
oops, think i posted in the wrong place

my answer is "what does it cost to buy the air & hotel?....
also, what is the cost for coach & hostels? & how many mi would you get from the trip?
a moderator will move this, don't repost....
sounds like a great trip...enjoy...

Welcome to FT, kit2ak! As this is more of a MilesBuzz topic I'll move it over to that forum for further discussion.
Enjoy your travels.
