Can any of you savvy travelers Please offer some advice.
Scenario. I was originally planning on going to Japan in 2021 flying JAL with my Chase Ur points.
Next March/April/May Im planning a Hawaii trip because i Have 800 dollar credit from Hawaiian
Air that will have to use. After speaking to Cust service she indicated i can use that credit to
fly from hawaii to Japan (even flying on Jal). The more i think about it the more i like that idea.
So addon to that trip.
Problem is i don't know how to get us back. I would like to take JAL back to So. Cal preferably using
Alaska/JAL but it is 35k oneway. I'm 70k short for the family. I can self refer Dh for Alaska card but total
that will get 45K. Looking at Marriott brilliance because i can transfer 60k= 25k to Alaska. Is this the only way
(besides spending money) to get those last points? Is this even wise? lol I noticed it is hard/more money
for one way awards if it is even allowed. Alaska does though.
UR's 210k
MR 40k
Alaska miles- currently almost deplated due to 10 day Alaska trip this June.
6/24...All 6 opened in 2017 so will fall off within 6 months.
AA is a JAL partner too.
ETA - I posted while playing catch up but see that there are a few of us with the same advice
