United Travel Bank can’t be combined with anything else like miles, other United gift cards, etc.
Only can be combined with other forms of payment like credit cards.

The miles aren’t typically worth 3%.
If the fee was only 1% then it would probably be worth it.

Avianca LifeMiles, Singapore, and Turkish are your options.
Avianca is probably the easiest to use (and I think the cheapest redemptions but search to be sure).
Note there is a $200 fee to get your points back if you cancel.
Make sure you check availability on the partner airline BEFORE transferring the miles!

They do not accept cards, so have the cash.
I arrived via ferry and the ATMs were on the other side of Customs.

It’s not a five star hotel, but it was clean, very reasonable, and had a great shuttle to the airport.

They need a network to work so “knock offs” are a waste of money as you won’t be able to track your item the same way.

Other than the a la carte food and champagne selections in Greenwich, I much preferred the Soho Lounge at JFK.

Four Seasons doesn’t even have a reward system.
All of their status is earned, as it should be.
A real proper membership system.

Just returned from Niseko and it was awesome.
I’d recommend taking the ski shuttle bus from Sapporo Airport.
Tons of snow and the village is great but make sure you stay in Grand Hirafu Village because that is where all the restaurants are.
We stayed at Woody Note Pension but there are tons of other nice hotel options that are ski in / ski out.

The $25 is a nice deductible!

The hotel should have had an incident form and it will be covered under their insurance.
Press the issue and I hope you took pictures.
