need hotel in cody, wy - want to use Chase points, but how?
« on: August 03, 2014, 08:13:14 PM »
I have 200k+ points with Chase and finally want to use them on a hotel stay in Cody, WY, but not sure how. I will need 2 rooms for 2 nights each and everything there seems to be REAL expensive, so I thoughts about trying to use miles. There doesn't seem to be many "regular" hotels there (there's a Holiday Inn, Best Western and a Super 8). Any ideas?

try using the UR website to book your hotel- without transferring points to different programs. You won't gett he best value per point, but its an option.

Sell Chase points to a broker, pay for hotel with that cash using priceline/hotwire.

Love these guys that claim that it's risky but when you ask them if they ever heard about UR>UA shutdowns they stay silent.

Chase told them that that's the reason? or they did other shtick as well and they assume they were shut down because.....

The ambiguity works both ways...

These days I am not getting scarred when someone is saying I did not do any shtick, Chase can close accounts for having high CL....

My question is what did it say on the letter that was sent out to them? When they close for UR>UR abuse, they state that reason in the letter.
