Will I be able to use my personal sapphire preferred to transfer my ink cash points to airline miles? My Ink Cash is for a real business, not sole proprietorship. I'm not sure about this b/c the ink would be in the business name. TIA
Why cant you transfer straight from your sapphire to your united account?

You probably misunderstood my question. I want to be able to convert points from the Ink Cash to United. Ink Cash does not convert to airline miles, but I have heard that you can if you have a sapphire preferred. My question essentially is, would I be able to do that if the SP is personal and the IC is business(real business, not sole proprietorship)?
Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience

I've moved UR from business to personal without a problem.

the 'transfer points' tab only shows up on accounts eligible to transfer points ie accounts that have an Ink (not 1 of them) or a Sapphire Preferred.

You transfer to the airline you are booking with, not flying with.

I'm trying to book through British Airways but they're telling me that there's no traffic between the two routes . I remember Dan saying that that means you're not booking with Avios. There's no option to search the calendar through Avios...

So I booked a ticket with BA on AA domestic. I think the eTicket said that I have no checked baggage. How can I change that? And if I can't , can I buy luggage at the airport?
