Which cards' points get me to Sydney?

The routes we track book through United MileagePlus, which Chase Ultimate Rewards, Bilt Points points can transfer into. Starting from zero, the planner's fastest two cards for this trip are the Chase Sapphire Preferred and the Chase Freedom Unlimited. Transfers are one way, so confirm award space before you move points.

When should I book?

Award calendars typically open about 11 months (roughly 330 days) before departure, and partner saver seats go first. For a Sep 2027 trip that means searching from Oct 2026; the plan works backward from that date so your points land before the window opens.
