I stumbled upon a very nice and comprehensive guide on how to effectively use your Chase UR, Amex MR, and Citi TYP to redeem for flight awards to Asia the other day. Given that I love travelling to Asia, this was perfect.
What Adam at the Jet Set Blog has compiled is a guide on the cost of awards from North America to Asia as well as details on how to book for every single airline transfer partner for each program. I haven’t found a guide this comprehensive before, and certainly not for the 3 major programs (excluding SPG). I personally got a lot of value out of the Membership Rewards part, as I hadn’t yet figured out what to do with the 50k I received for my PRG as well as the upcoming 100k from the Platinum card I just applied for.
While the guide is specifically for North American to Asia awards, you can get a good sense of which programs are more useful transfer partners in general. I’m hoping for a follow for Europe and other regions.
Anyways, go check it out! Make sure to click into each part, not just the introduction page I linked to.
Hey! Thanks for linking over to my guide! As you can imagine, they take a ton of time and research to put together. If you do a search on the blog, there’s a similar series for Europe and for Hawaii on there. I’m aiming to have a series for each major destination region to stay posted!
