I flew 2x from JFK to BKK. Last flight was biz class, 120k points + $700 US ( this was a return flight included btw) Chase points w a 20% transfer bonus.
U really have to do some research. I use tiktok and follow a few folks that know the game but more importantly, stay current for you.
It’s not just point accumulation, it’s efficient utilization via airline partner sites , transfer bonuses and finally, locating the best points fares using seats.aero and such.
