This is what I did: I am flying to from EWR-TLV in Feb Iyh and I wanted to fly J but of course to book a direct flights with United with points is extremely difficult to find and most stopovers from the stop till TLV is not really J, but the cost is 170K RT so transferring UR is a Value of 2,100 and the charges is about $100 so thats a value of 2,200 if I would find, so I sold the points got a United card with a 50k sign up bonus. Now the ticket is $3,100 but I was credit $50 from united and I get 50K plus 6K plus around 11K for using card to pay for the ticket and thats a value of $800 so thats why I sold the points to purchase a J class ticket.
