Quick Reference

Best Value: Transfer Partners

Transferring Chase UR or Amex MR points to airline partners typically yields 1.5–2¢+ per point — vs 1¢ for cash back. Always the highest-value redemption.

Highest Point Value: World of Hyatt

Hyatt points average 1.7¢ each for free nights — the highest among all hotel programs. Chase UR transfers to Hyatt 1:1, making it one of the best combinations.

Best Airline Earning: Southwest RR

Southwest Rapid Rewards points are worth ~1.5¢ each — among the highest for a domestic airline. Plus the Companion Pass can double your value.

Best Flat-Rate Cash Back: Citi Double Cash

2% on everything with no annual fee makes it the best "catch-all" card for any purchase that doesn't have a bonus category on another card.

Never Cash Out Amex MR Points

Amex MR points are worth only 0.6¢ as a statement credit — but 1.0¢+ via Amex Travel and up to 2¢ when transferred to airlines like ANA or Singapore Airlines.

First Year Value Always Higher

Include the sign-up bonus when evaluating a card. A $95 annual fee card with a 60,000-point bonus worth $750 has a $655 net first-year value even before spending.
