I'll breathe easier once i can make the transfer. And i will be doing that the day it comes back.

Lesson learned: Don't push off till tomorrow what can be done today. Especially in the fickle world of CC points and miles.

You have a ticket waiting to be booked? Why DID you push it off?

Not always necessarily so. For example, I put my KE itinerary on hold while waiting to see if CX would open. No need to rush and lock points in, that may later not be necessary...

I was just told by someone that works in the card department at Chase that Korean Air has pulled out of Ultimate Rewards due to "rewards misuse concerns". He didn't know any more than that.

perhaps this has to do with korean,which is strict about issuing award tickets for other people,not being happy that chase allows transfers to someone else's account..?

Who said anything about Tel Aviv? You asked what MU means, you got your answer.

I am asking what routes can you use Korean Miles to redeem from Tel Aviv. Is the question not clear? And as a separate question I asked what MU stands for. I am confused as to what is not clear.
