10,000 points = $100
what amount of points (define as X) * 150% = 10,000?
1.5X = 10,000 --> X = 10,000/1.5 = 6,667
with 50% bonus, $100 = 6,667 points, a savings of 3,333 points (10,000 - 6,667)
3,333/10,000 = 33%, or a 33% savings
said another way:
normally $1 = 100 points, but with the 50% further $1 = 100/1.5 = 66 points
Old Price = 100 Points
New Price = 66 Points
Change = (New price - Old price) / Old Price = (66 - 100) / 100 = -33/100 = -33%

And you can also get pretty good value for short haul US flight.
Example.
I am flying DTW to SEA main cabin on Delta this coming weekend .
Each ticket cost 18500 point + $5 USD. Chase UR convert to Virgin Atlantic has a 40% bonus since Oct 15 so you only need 13220 UR point for 18500 Virgin Atlantic point. The day I book the ticket (Oct 17) the price was around $300 USD for that flight so you are essentially getting
$300-$5 = $295
$295/ 13220 UR = 0.022
2.2 cents per UR point
I'm not saying there aren't better values to be had than 1.5c pp on travel. But the fact is this is a simple and solid deal (if you were going to buy Apple products at full price anyway).
If you buy directly from Apple in full. They are unlocked

I certainly could fly Basic Econ for $50 less which I would seat a random stranger rather than my wife.
Yep there are cheapest option such as Frontier or Spirit which probably go for $100 less but you need layover for 4-8 hours.
You are telling me how my experience during the flight and my time is not a factor? I probably shouldn't fly on Sat too since it probably cost more. And no I can't fly southwest because they don't have a direct flight too.
The fact is this deal is for CSR holder.. so don't tell me those people will volunteer to fly Spirit or Frontier and waste a few hours on layover and feel that they got a better deal.
By your logic why can't people get a cheap Samsung smartphone or an old Apple device from Swappa or eBay and we use that to compare the pp value then? They will enc up with a decent device that function similar to a new phone.
Using UR point to redeem a new device doesn't seem better of value if we do that.
It seems your post is just for an argument sake...

1) you get the same bonus or value for travel as this deal
2) the same trip or hotel or rental you book on the UR platform can actually be found cheaper in value of you were to book it using a different site (but you will be paying for it via credit card)
1. Most people value Chase UR points at 2cpp or something, but in reality if you use them to book economy flights I've largely only seen 1.5-1.8cpp at best over the last 10 years of flying with points to destinations I want, and sometimes a bit worse if you include other airline fees.
2. Points are subject to devaluation over time, and having hundreds of thousands of points sit for 5-10 years means you also didn't get that cash back invested in the market at 8%+ returns
If you're booking business flights valued at 5cpp or whatever then it's a different discussion, but I don't churn at those types of levels, and I also don't think business class is really worth 3-5x the points of economy usually.

This deal is for people who want to burn their points without having to travel. It's fast and efficient but not the way to get the best value out of their points. (I'm not a self-proclaimed point expert)
One example: iPad Air 11 is $599 + tax on the Chase site, where it's on sale for $499 at Amazon, and I could even get it same day (with prime). Yes I do have to shell out cash to pay for it vs. just redeeming points, but I have better use for the points.
agree... this deal w/ apple products comes around every now and then...
have you also noticed this year, or maybe starting last year... but not the case for years with chase points for flights...
the redemptions arent as good any more? this year i found myself just buying the flights direct from the airlines after comparing it w/ the chase portal... which uses the expedia I think, engine.
