Now the only caveat here is that while you will get that value and you'll be able to tell yourself you converted 90,000 points into some crazy amount of dollars, the question you have to ask yourself is if you would have booked those flights with cash if you had to. What I mean is, if Avianca is $518.50, and Delta is say $450, and you choose to book Avianca with miles because you say "damn, 450 and 518.50 are expensive, I'd much rather pay cash for when flights are under 400 and maximize the value of these points" would you really have spent $518.50? Unless you REEEEEALLY needed to do the Avianca route, if you were forced to pay cash (say, because you have no miles) you probably would have gone with the Delta flight for $450 (assuming all things being equal...time on flight, layover time, etc.). In my case, I don't remember what other flights were available that I would have chosen for my mother-in-law, but if I had to pay cash, I certainly wasn't buying the $518.50 Avianca flight. I think there was a much less comfortable (with respect to flight times) COPA flight that was like $150 less on a different day. So did I really get $0.02367/point?

When you transfer points to travel partners, is it mostly instant?

it may look like a $500 max benefit card but it is not worth 3 credit pulls. the actual value is only like $200
With regards to the long term value of this card, the 395 is completely negated by the use of the 300 credit plus the 10k anniversary points. Whether the 90k SUB is enough to get it versus historical trends is a question for each person, like I mentioned a couple of posts up.
