Bingo.
Compound all of that with the fact that Chase as a 3rd party is particularly terrible.
Again I'd like to reiterate, you cannot judge Chase by their performance when everything goes...

You're right as a general rule though; portals/3rd parties in the mix only complicates issues and often times makes what would be simple resolutions very complicated. For example, booking through a...

All anecdotal. I'm on several online groups and the stories are staggering. The number 1 rule in ALL of these groups to any newcomer is simple. Do.Not.Use.The.Portal.

So... I'm not well versed in any of this. I haven't tried to manipulate/move the points around beyond moving from my Freedom to the Sapphire for travel. I did find the booking through Chase to be...

If you don't travel internationally, in premium class cabins, or both; this is bar none the best redemption strategy you will find. If you don't like Hyatt hotels that's a personal issue, there is...

Unless you are relatively close to the charge (e.g., the pro-rated amount is almost the full amount anyway), you won't get the full amount back. Even if you don't agree to the change in terms, you...

Yes but I wouldn't advise it. Their customer service isn't great. It'll work fine until you need help with something and then you'll spend more time than it's worth. A lot of folks report back that...

Even though it's not a PYB category, you can still book travel directly through Chase with the enhanced 25%/50% redemption rates, right?

Why do you need to clear out your points? They don't expire, and there will always be some other bonus redemption available in the future?

This exactly. We booked Alila Ventana 5 nights for $600/nt in points which was $2k/night in cash. So 3.33x points redemption. Multiply that by minimum 1.5x (Freedom UNL), 3x dining (Freedom UNL),...
