Redemption: How It Works and How to Maximize
• Travel Portal: Use points directly for flights, hotels, cars, cruises, and experiences. Higher-value cards (Sapphire Reserve/Preferred, Ink Preferred) stretch points further.
• Transfer Partners: Move points to major airlines (United, Southwest, JetBlue, British Airways, etc.) or hotels (Hyatt, Marriott, IHG) to unlock outsized value, like business class flights or luxury stays.
• Cash Back/Gift Cards: Lower value, but flexible if you need cash or want to shop.
Tips to Unlock More Value:
• Always compare portal bookings vs. transferring to partners—sometimes booking direct with points is best, sometimes transfers give way more value.
• Look for bonus categories (5x or more), limited time offers, and combine household points for larger trips.
• Redeem early—some travel redemptions can sell out quickly, especially on peak dates.
