Is it possible to use points to rent a car?
Yes.
Is it the best / most valuable use of your points?
No, not by a long shot.
Unfortunately, the points game doesn’t really have any sweet spots for car rentals.
You’ll have to accept middling to poor value for your points if you absolutely have to save cash.
If you’re flexible about the company you rent from, Autoslash is an excellent, free tool for tracking your car rental and alerting you when a cheaper deal is available.

How long ago did you last open a Chase card before that?
If it’s been a while, I’d say you’re good to go.
Lots of folks open Southwest personal and business cards about a month apart to snag the companion pass.

Just as a side note, book through Delta or British Airways to make your reservation, and you’ll also earn airline points.
Both airlines have a link to Airbnb.

Compression socks for long flights and lightweight disposable slippers for hotels that don’t offer them.
I also cast my vote for Bose noise-canceling headphones, a portable phone charger & long cord for a hotel room.

Depends on where you are flying Egypt Air.
Their to/from US and EU flights are OK.
Egypt Air’s Africa and Asia flights are dumpy.
Economy with a closed-off middle row.
I’d put them a notch or two below Air India.

From my understanding, you get a 1099 for points earned from referrals, but not sign up bonuses or transferring points.

I didn’t care for the Park Hyatt Dubai and checked out 2 days early.
Went to the Grosvenor House Dubai (Marriott) which I liked a lot.
I really do want to stay at the St Regis Dubai sometime but the last 3 times have been Grand Hyatt Dubai due to shorter stays.

Ok, thank you
