How I Scored an $8,967 First Class Ticket for Less Than a Latte — The Untold Hack Airlines Don’t Want You to Know
Based on the 2.1 cent valuation and 1:1 transfer ratio, if I booked using 165,000 points, the cash value of the flight dropped down to $3,360.
In other words, an $8,967 ticket in United Polaris actually only cost $3,360 if I paid using points directly through United MileagePlus. But in reality, the flight only cost me $5.60.
I logged into my Chase account, transferred the points to my United MileagePlus account (it’s an instantaneous transfer), and booked the flight for 165,000 points—all of which I earned absolutely free.
