What is the benefit of the Chase Reserve, and how much does it cost?

Archaea

Net of $150

Well I fly

Archaea

If you fly Delta there is no advantage. The Reserve value is simple math

So an Amex Black Card is a better deal

Archaea

No, it isn't that simple.

CSoul

What must one spend to

Southwest flies to LIR though not very flexible. So the Chase Southwest

CSoul

But 50,000 miles doesn't get you anywhere.

Archaea

CSoul

CSoul

2/6/18 5:26pm

Flying out of Houston you can get tickets 17k each way

CSoul

2/6/18 5:28pm

Agreed. If you are flexible with dates, Southwest is the way to go.

Why are the Saphires a good deal?

Archaea

2/6/18 5:29pm

Or you can do both. The Chase Southwest cards count toward the companion

CSoul

Is this mostly on card spend?

Archaea

2/6/18 5:31pm

Sure. But he was asking about a single flight.

Plato

So I have both of those but rarely use them. I have 38,000 rapid rewards from

But you have to spend $12000 over 3 months. We'll be short just barely

It's 35,000 miles round trip on certain dates

donnerstag

That's kind of an issue because the dates aren't flexible. Would be nice to
