Bonus points for spend in the following bonus categories:
Applies to travel booked directly with Air Canada. Other airfare earns 1X miles per dollar.
Includes takeout and delivery
- Eltie status for the first year of card membership and the following full year - with the option to retain Aeroplan elite status or upgrade to the next tier by meeting qualifying spend requirements
- Earn 3x bonus points per $1 spent on purchases made through Air Canada directly, grocery stores, restaurants; and 1x point on all other purchases
- Global Entry, TSA PreCheck or NEXUS application reimbursement every four years
Pros
- Automatic 25k Aeroplan elite status for benefits like 20 eUpgrade credits to premium cabins on Air Canada flights, two passes to Maple Leaf lounges and more
- Use Pay Yourself Back to redeem Aeroplan points for a statement credit towards any travel purchases at a favorable rate of 1.25 cents per point
- Important travel and purchase coverage, such as trip delay reimbursement, baggage delay insurance, cell phone insurance and more
Cons
- Aeroplan points aren't as flexible as transferrable currencies such as Chase Ultimate Rewards
- $95 annual fee
- Hefty spend requirement to retain or upgrade your Aeroplan elite status level
Aeroplan does not pass along any fuel surcharges, making this a great program for Star Alliance flights. Two huge additional benefits are a stopover on your trip for just 5,000 miles and a lap infant (under 2) is just $25 CAD. One small negative is that they do have fees for cancelling an award ticket.

- Amazing Membership Rewards points earning rate for 6 popular business spending categories
- No Preset Spending Limit
- Card membership includes the very well regarded American Express customer service
Pros
- You can't beat the 4X points on 2 out of the following 6 categories each month: U.S. advertising and media, U.S. gas stations, U.S. electronic goods retailers and software & cloud system providers, U.S. restaurants, U.S. wireless telephone service providers, and U.S. Transit
- Although the annual fee seems high, if you max out the 4X on $150,000 in purchases, that earns you 600,000 Membership Rewards points which Your Best Credit Cards values at around $10,000
- Card membership includes the very well regarded American Express customer service
Cons
- The high annual fee, despite being worth it for high spenders
- If you spend well over $150,000 a year in these categories, you may max it out and remaining spend earns at just 1X.
- Car rental CDW coverage is secondary to your own auto insurance
Instant Transfers as well as solid transfer partners. The value would go up if they had any hotel partners with a fair exchange rate. ANA (an exception to instant transfers), Virgin, Air Canada and Avianca are top airline partners for maximizing your points. They can also transfer to Delta if you wish and while the rates aren't ideal, they can transfer to Marriott and Hilton as well. ANA provides almost unbeatable value for booking a Round the World flight all in Business Class. The stated value also assumes you will take advantage of transfer partners rather than book via their booking portal, where they are only worth between 1 and 1.5 cents. We've also created a Guide to American Express Membership Rewards.

They have a similar network to AA in terms of reach via the Star Alliance and also (unlike Delta) allow for booking First Class international awards in the Star Alliance network, but they charge noticeably more for Partner Awards and the rates keep (stealthily) rising. United partner Lufthansa tends to have good availability to Europe making it somewhat easier to use to Europe than American, which relies heavily on British Airways and BA charges incredibly steep surcharges on those awards.

- Earn elite night credits from eligible spend
- Gives you automatic World of Hyatt Discoverist status
- Has a wide range of card benefits, including primary car rental CDW
Pros
- Earn elite night credits from eligible spend
- Grants you automatic World of Hyatt Discoverist status
- Has a wide range of travel and shopping benefits
Cons
- Somewhat high annual fee
- No bonus categories earn more than 2X Hyatt points
- The Discoverist status is the lowest of the Hyatt elite tiers
Hyatt award rates range from 3,500 to 45,000 points per night at their regular hotels and resorts. At all-inclusive resorts and Miraval, the prices can reach as high as 58,000 points per night, Almost without fail, during even remotely peak times, we can find roughly 2 cents per point in value. You can even book Suites for incrementally more points (Premium Suite costs twice as much as a room, for example). I tend to find these are one of the best ways to spend Chase Ultimate Rewards points which transfer 1:1. They are the only major hotel program in the US with fixed award charts making it a great program to be able to set goals for your redemptions..

The Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, and Ink Preferred all have the ability to transfer to airline and hotel partners.

If you do not have at least one of these cards, Ultimate Rewards are worth exactly 1 cent per point. Also keep in mind that when you redeem your points, you can elect to book travel through the Ultimate Rewards portal where the Sapphire Preferred and Ink Preferred have a point value of 1.25 cents per point and the Sapphire Reserve has points worth 1.5 cents each. You can move points freely between your Ultimate Rewards cards, i.e. from a Chase Freedom Unlimited to a Chase Sapphire Reserve. You can also read our Guide to Chase Ultimate Rewards points.

U.S. dining, including takeout and delivery
- Diamond Elite Status
- Up to $889 in annual statement credits (Terms apply)
- An annual Free Night Reward with no cap on value
Pros
- Diamond Elite Status
- Up to $889 in annual statement credits (Terms apply)
- An annual Free Night Reward with no cap on value
Cons
- Points earned are only good for booking Hilton family stays
- High annual fee (but not really, considering the value)
- We really can't think of a third!
Since Hilton moved to a variable pricing model, on average you'll be offered roughly a 0.5 cent value per point. What is nice is that although the pricing is mostly variable, they still cap the "standard" redemption rate on all properties. With the 5th night free on all award stays and resort fees waived on award stays, it's very possible to well exceed this value - even getting 1-2 cents per point - when used wisely.

Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card
Our ratings are determined by the authors and editors on our team. Each individual card feature is compared against all other cards we offer and the total score is an average of those 4 ratings.
Bonus Offer
Earn 3 Free Nights (each night valued up to 50,000 points) after spending $3,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening.
Bonus points for spend in the following bonus categories:
Earn 6X when you book Marriott Bonvoy properties direct. Earn 2X on all other hotel bookings.
- Earn a free night award every year worth up to 35,000 Marriott Bonvoy points
- Earn an outstanding 6X points per dollar for stays at Marriott Bonvoy hotels and resorts.
- Automatic Marriott Bonvoy Silver elite status, with a pathway to Gold status every year by spending $35,000+ on the card
Pros
- The annual free night award on the card is worth around $210 based on our estimations - more than double the $95 annual fee
- The card is especially rewarding on Marriott purchases, with the ability to earn an excellent 6X multiplier at Marriott Bonvoy properties
- Great travel card all around, thanks to travel protections and no foreign transaction fees
Cons
- $95 annual fee
- Silver elite status doesn't provide many perks on its own, so it's worth it to achieve Gold status or upgrade to a higher-tier Marriott Bonvoy credit card
- Only earns 2x Marriott Bonvoy points per dollar after reaching the $6,000 cap on combined purchases on grocery stores, gas stations and dining
While Marriott Bonvoy dropped all award charts in favor of a dynamic pricing system, it hasn't gotten out of hand and the 5th night free on awards can still provide outsized value. It's also hard to beat the breadth of Marriott Bonvoy properties all over the world.

Cons
- The card only earns Hilton Honors points, so you would not be able to redeem them for stays at other hotel chains.
