I recently pulled off a multicountry Europe trip using just over 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points, and it felt like a travel hack win. I transferred points during a 25% bonus to Flying Blue for a transatlantic flight to Paris for only 15K points, hopped from Switzerland to Slovenia for 6K United miles, and returned from Rome with a 40K saver award. Hotels? Used Points Boost on Chase Travel for a sweet 3-night Florence stay that would’ve cost $800 in cash.
Not every part was covered by points, but even those expenses earned me more rewards. The key? Flexibility, smart use of transfer bonuses, and booking tools like Seats.aero. Anyone else managed to stretch a welcome bonus this far? I’d love to hear where your points have taken you!
