[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I applied for Chase United Mileage and Chase Sapphire last year and received sign up bonuses totalling 110,000 points.  Chase United has no fee the first year and it is $95 for the second year.  It charges for an additional user.  Sapphire has an annual fee (can't recall the exact amount) but doesn't charge to add an authorised user.

A big advantage of the Sapphire card is that each point is worth $1.20.  For example, I can book a return flight to Australia at the moment for about $1700 but the same flight is available through Chase Travel for 140,000 points (ie $1400).[/quote]

That savings isn’t worth it to me if I have to deal with Chase travel due to a schedule change, delay or flight cancellation. No way. [/quote]

Correct- booking airfare through a 3rd party is asking for problems.

The optimal use of these kinds of points is finding award availability and transferring to partners to book award tickets. The "Pay Yourself Back" option with Chase is pretty good also.[/quote]

I have had flights cancelled that I booked through Chase and it was pretty easy. They just converted it to a flight credit on the airline, so when I rebooked I just did it all directly through United.
