Great deal booked out of IAH-PHX

Free changes, but sale ends tonight so I'd have to pay miles difference right?

Wish I had enough for 4 X Tahiti. Getting card for next sale..

SFO to PPT (Tahiti) as an example: 40,000 miles for a currently $675 flight. That's barely an "ok" valuation in my book. For 80,000 miles you could have a $2000+ flight.

Keep in mind you will also earn quite a few miles if you purchase the flight, especially as a Premier member.

Base miles earned, around 3500. $675 x 5 pts/$ on your AMEX Platinum = 3375 points. So at the minimum you are earning nearly 7000 miles for your $675 ticket, and substantially more if you are a Silver or Gold member.

That's not even factoring in the value of the PQP and PQF if you're trying to reach status.
How does the Amex platinum come into play for United points?

What about using a United Club card (like the Infinite)?

Awesome! My wife and I are on a direct flight from SFO to Tel Aviv in August for 40k miles each. We got free upgrade to Economy + since I'm 1k worth $418 each person.

Look forward to visiting Jerusalem and Galilee. I was there in 2014 during the World Cups and recall the Israelis looting for Germany late at night local time...
How were you able to get a flight back to SFO for 20k? I Couldn't find any from Tel Aviv to the US for 20k.

Deal may have expired... Booked 2 roundtrips SFO-TLV direct flight around 7:30 PM PDT. Also booked 3 roundtrips to Dublin through Newark at 9:30 PM PDT. All legs for 20k each or 40k roundtrip which is a great deal from the west coast.

AMEX Platinum earns 5x points on airline purchases direct from the airline. There are always ways to move points around, be it Chase on American via British Air, or Amex on United via Air Canada, etc.

Sure you can used the United Club card or any other card for the purchase of the fare, but they don't typically offer 5x points per dollar on airfare or incidentals like upgrades, etc.

I'd much rather earn 5x points on AMEX than 3x points on my United card.
