How I Scored an $8,967 First Class Ticket for Less Than a Latte — The Untold Hack Airlines Don’t Want You to Know
Using this baseline of 2.1 cents per point, I could make sure the flight I redeemed either matched or exceeded that valuation. And since I bank with Chase, all my points transfer to the United MileagePlus program at a 1:1 ratio.
Step 4: Book the Flight with the Best Point Valuation
So, how did my points break down?
On the United website, my flight cost $8,967 one way. I then searched for an award fare (which United makes very easy), and there were quite a few options. I could spend 70,000 points for a ticket in economy or 165,000 points for a ticket in United Polaris—their version of first/business class with lie-flat beds.
