![]() We'll get 6-7 hours in the park on Christmas before our flight, so that should be fun. Also got Hollywood and Vine for Friday night and Tiffins Christmas day. I kinda would have preferred Christmas Eve, but still excited. So our expenses will be less than half the park tickets, rental car and food! We didn't plan until after 60day window passed and Candlelight Packages were released, but was fortunately able to find a random lunch on the 23rd at Biergarten with the package for a 7pm show time, which will be fun. And the Chase Sapphire I have 100k points, which should pay for a little more than half of the park tickets. We still have 30k+ points, so might get another 3 nights out of it, thinking Disneyland again next summer. We weren't super excited about a Christmas day flight home but it's not til 6pm, so figured what the heck, if it saves us 30k points but not going back Sunday, let's do it! We booked Clarion hotel just south of Animal Kingdom. This week, we decided to take a Christmas points trip to Disney World! It won't be all paid with points, but we got 3 flights for 60k total, 20k per person, traveling Sunday Dec 19 - Saturday Dec 25. Since joining here, I added a Choice Hotel rewards card last summer that I met my msr while visiting Disneyland for a week, then got a Chase Sapphire to pay kids private school tuition and just hit the msr. My wife and I already had Delta AMEX cards, and had taken a couple free flights as a result of msr bonus points along with our daughter. Hi all, I came across this thread about a year ago I think and became intrigued by traveling with points. If you were trying to earn the extra UR from booking through the portal that some cards give, then consider if the extra is worth the potential hassle of having an OTA control your reservation (for whichever hotel you decide on) If you were going to use UR then just take the same 1 cpp as a statement credit or bank deposit. It's the same cash price as booking directly, as far as I can see. If you don't have a CSP, CSR, or CIP to get a higher redemption value for your UR, then there's not much point to booking through the portal anyway. ![]() If you are unable to see/book SR through your travel portal website, then you have been switched to the new site and are out of luck. The cards that can access the Expedia powered website can book the SR. Some Chase cards are still being run by the Expedia site and other cards have been switched to the Connexions site. However, the rollout to the new Connexions website isn't across the board yet. Just recently Chase decided to switch the website back to Connexions (aka cxLoyalty) which they purchased. The Chase Travel portal website has been "powered by Expedia" for the past several years.
