Why no same-day available on Chase UR travel?
« on: May 28, 2017, 09:31:19 AM »
Trying to book same-day hotel on Chase UR travel but it errors out for today's date; only allows tomorrow. I tried doing this at 1am this morning for same-day and it was the same thing. Any ideas/tricks?  TIA

Don't know about hotels. But more then once I called for same day flights and they said they need at least 24 hours to confirm the reservation.

On hold 15 mins for sup after 1st level genius couldn't help at all.

Maybe better path is to call hotel and ask them to shift?

FYI nobdy willing to help: not Chase, not hotel, not Expedia Affliate Network (which is what UR booked thru). Killed booking; xfer UR to Hyatt, booked for 8k pts, saved 2k pts!

Why didn't you do that in the first place?

Cause 1)I'm relatively new to all of this. 2)I have a psychologic barrier, thinking that CSR UR1.5x gets you 50% "more" value and thus is a much better deal, but obviously it's TOTALLY not.

Is there any rule for when to use UR1.5 vs xfer to partner, or do you just need to look at all options?  I mean, it's quite involved to look at 4-5 different hotel and/or airline alliances when trying to book something, no?

Thx

When you want the best deal, you shop around. When redeeming points, look at each point as 1. If you only have UR for example, get a quote. Find your lowest $ cost, thus equating to the lowest UR cost, and compare it to the hotel/airline/car rental point rate. If the latter is cheaper in points, you will always save as far as the number of points.

Welcome to the real world. How else would you know without checking the different prices and award costs?
