How Do I merge all my credit card points

Chase Saphire preferred 100,00
Chase Freedom 24,000
British Airways 50,000
American Airlines 50,000

Sell the points and book with cash. Maybe use the spg for hotels.

For starters,
1) no need for a new thread . Question can be asked in thread of misc. Credit card questions.
2) the only points that can technically be merged together are the sapphire and freedom UR points . All other rewards that are listed are different programs.

3) However even with what you have , if you'd like advice on what to do with them , more info would need to be shared like what you want to do , destination , where from etc ..

4) have fun and enjoy !

Can merge Sapphire, Freedom, and SPG with BA. Probably not a good idea but technically doable.

Do you mean 100k on the sapphire?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

In order for you to get a better price using the chase points as miles than you would be selling the points and booking with cash, tickets would have to be over $400 each round-trip. You're better off selling them and paying for your tickets. You should get $1500 or more selling the Sapphire points, which should be enough for 5 round-trip tickets. You can sell some other points to pay for the car rental (there aren't really many good options using miles). Hotels you may be able to do better using SPG or possibly UR>Hyatt.

Really? Your telling a n00b to violate the terms of chase ur without detailing how to not get caught or pointing in the right direction? I'm sorry. That's just wrong.

A competent broker should help with that. A one time seller with a competent broker instructing shouldn't have major issues.

transferring points is difficult

But you could move out of programs and focus on the ones you want to

Would you mind all sleeping in 1 room? SPG has a deal on certain category's if you get 4 nights in the same property, you get the 5th night for free. You could transfer some UR points to Hyatt for the remaining nights
