Also, is it a one for one transfer of points to miles on CSR?

Thanks to all for the advice.  newby question?  How many miles does it typically take for a RT to Israel from LA?
depends on airline
Also, is it a one for one transfer of points to miles on CSR?
UR transfers are all the same . CSR has higher rate using chase UR portal to book travel

What is UR?  Also, would I have to wait any specific amount of time to get the miles from Chase if I spent 4000 within a few weeks?  I am thinking of putting my property taxes (3700) on the card and then just paying it off.  That would leave only 300 needed for the points.  Should that work or is there something I need to be concerned about?

Also, I signed up fro Flying Blue as I understand they are partnered with Chase.

Thanks!

Thoughts on paying prop tax with card?  Any restrictions?

What is the ultimate difference between Chase Saphire Preferred and Chase Saphire Reserve other than initial points?  I am going into a physical Chase branch to apply, so I understand I will (hopefully) get 100,000 miles vs. 50,000?

Aside from the additional sign up bonus, the reserve has an annual $300 travel credit and allows you to redeem your points for airline tickets at 1.5 cents per point value. The preferred doesn't have those benefits

Isn't the verification question to join DDF "What are UR"?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Unless it's been changed from when I joined then yes.
