Nope. It's 1:1... https://onemileatatime.

They're not in the list, so you probably mean linking in Amazon which would reduce the points value.
Their gift card company list sucks, doesn't have Walmart, Costco, ebay, or any major travel companies but does have hotels.com, bestbuy, homedepot, lowes, and safeway (i wonder if those cards work at robertsons).
They do have apple but that's it.
Reasons:
• Your credit report shows a high amount of unused credit compared to your
available credit lines.
• Your credit report shows too many bank or national revolving accounts.
The second reason at least makes some sense. The first is crazy. I use my credit cards a lot, 1-3k a month but don't cary a balance.
Anyone successfully argued for a reconsideration with a similar situation?
Nah. The first reason makes lots of sense. They can't predict your actions (or the actions of your lenders) 100%, and even your historic usage doesn't guarantee that you won't go out next week and go to 80% utilization. I'd ask for reconsideration but I wouldn't expect much.

Gift cards expire in many states. Kinda sucks...
So avianca is same as ua because it's staralliance. So 80k miles is pretty decent
kind of like the idea of just 3 credit cards. double cash and costco and Apple Card.
9 cards to 3.

Opened a free account with Avianca to see how it works. Just seems too complicated, and i could not figure how to jump from Avianca to star alliance to united miles. Nowhere as simple as directly having United miles where you go to United website and can just check out any flights for $$ or in terms of United points.
I just wanted to see some sample flights and how many points - too complicated for most normal people. Gave up after spending 15-20 mins. Perhaps if someone has done it, can share.
I get the feeling it is limited availability & may not be practical for most people.
That's the downside. If you have a lot of available credit, great, companies trust you. At the same time you could buy $200k worth of shit and vanish. It's a VERY large liability to manage.
also a word about scores..... be careful with official FICO and "FAKO" [thebalance.com] or scores provided "for free" that seem to be superfluous these days (often times they'll say "free credit score" and people interpret that as a FICO which could be incorrect). There are many true "FICO" scores (not just one) but FAKO is a generic term for a score that's not an official FICO, which there could be an unlimited number. While the two are probably correlated, there's no absolute correlation/formula to convert one to the other.

Lots of miles/rewards are like that and it's very messed up. For example let's say you want to book a flight with airline X. Airline Y and airline X are partners, and perhaps they even code share (exact same flight under different airlines). Transferring points to Airline X is some very poor rate but transferring to Y is a better rate, so you transfer to Y and basically get the exact same flight that Airline X is operating, for cheaper.
