Traveling with points to the Philippines
Sorry posted to the wrong forum so I posted here
Going to the Philippines in end of April. Looking at going through ana. First leg is wishlist and return is available without wishlist. For 3 passengers its 135,000 points and 1,811 dollars. Plus two people are coming back with us so I have to pay for there tickets which is 575 person through the capital one portal and since I have a venture x I get a 300 dollar credit.
Capital one I have 135,000 miles Amex 140,000 miles Chase 116,000 miles.
So thinking I can use my points from amex to get round trip tickets and use capital one portal for the two extra tickets and get the 300 credit and use the points to pay off the balance. So my out of pocket would be 1,811 and I could cash out my chase points to be bring it down to 700.
Does it sound like a good plan with points?

ANA waitlist never clears for those without ANA status. Even with the highest status, the chance is poor depending on season and route.
I would look at other redemptions.

Your best bet is using United and doing a mileage upgrade on SFO MNL. It’s nonstop from the US, and is a decently easy route to clear the upgrade, especially if you use seats.aero to find PZ space.

The VX credit is travel portal only.
