  • Amazing Membership Rewards points earning rate for 6 popular business spending categories
  • No Preset Spending Limit means your spending limit is flexible. Unlike a traditional card with a set limit, the amount you can spend adapts based on factors such as your purchase, payment, and credit history.
  • 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.

The Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, and Ink Preferred all have the ability to transfer to airline and hotel partners. We use an average value that you can expect to get by utilizing your points for these transfer 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.

  • 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.

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..

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 60,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.

Get a 25% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

Offer expires on Jun 15, 2025

Get 25% bonus Virgin Points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on May 1, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on June 15, 2025. Bonus points will be awarded by Virgin Atlantic Flying Club in your Flying Club account after your transfer is complete.

The first thing I’ll note is that there is currently a 30% transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou to Virgin Flying Club that ends May 17th.

Chase also had a limited two week only 30% transfer bonus to Virgin the first half of February.

Across all programs, there were 9 transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club in 2024.

Bonuses are often 30% or even 40%, so I would not jump on a 25% bonus unless you are both flush with Ultimate Rewards and have a flight ready to book.

Keep in mind there are now massive surcharges on international Delta flights booked via Virgin to/from the US, killing off one of Virgin’s very best sweet spots (50k to/from Europe). So really, run a search before you transfer!

Best Uses of Virgin Flying Club points:

Two great uses are domestically on Delta within the US or US-Mexico/Canada and for economy flights to/from Europe that are as few as 12,000 miles each way on partners such as KLM or Delta. Delta One awards not to/from the US should still be a deal. Delta One to/from Europe is still 50,000 points but now with surcharges of around $1,000, so that “sweet spot” is dead.

The other, well known, “best use” is to book ANA First and Business class awards:

  • First Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 145,000 points Round Trip
  • First Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 170,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 105,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 120,000 points Round Trip

Get a 25% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air France Flying Blue.

Offer expires on May 31, 2025

Get 25% Bonus Flying Blue Miles when you transfer Ultimate Rewards® points between 12:00 AM ET on May 1, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on May 31, 2025. Bonus Miles will be awarded by Flying Blue in your Flying Blue account after your transfer is complete.

The first thing to know is that Air France Flying Blue transfer bonuses are frequent.

Here is a list of historical transfer bonuses from Chase to Air France Flying Blue and here is a list of historical transfer bonuses to Air France Flying Blue from all programs

The last one from Chase was 20% at the start of this year and one from Chase last April for 25%.

Across all programs, we had 5 transfer bonuses to Flying Blue ranging from 20% – 25%.

Note that the minimum rates for some Flying Blue awards have recently increased:

Flying Blue rates are variable, so run a search before transferring. When you get lucky, business class from the US to Europe can run as low as 60,000 Flying Blue miles (up from 50,000 previously). But that would be just 48,000 credit card points during this promotion!

Flying Blue is often the best way to book Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from the US to Europe and beyond, due to the lowest taxes of any way to book Virgin Atlantic, however with Virgin’s new dynamic pricing you really have to compare the pricing on both programs as it can now be cheaper with Virgin in some cases. Flying Blue can also book Delta, KLM, and other SkyTeam members when Saver award space is available.

Offer expires on Jun 15, 2025

Get 25% bonus Virgin Points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on May 1, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on June 15, 2025. Bonus points will be awarded by Virgin Atlantic Flying Club in your Flying Club account after your transfer is complete.

The first thing I’ll note is that there is currently a 30% transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou to Virgin Flying Club that ends May 17th.

Chase also had a limited two week only 30% transfer bonus to Virgin the first half of February.

Across all programs, there were 9 transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club in 2024.

Bonuses are often 30% or even 40%, so I would not jump on a 25% bonus unless you are both flush with Ultimate Rewards and have a flight ready to book.

Keep in mind there are now massive surcharges on international Delta flights booked via Virgin to/from the US, killing off one of Virgin’s very best sweet spots (50k to/from Europe). So really, run a search before you transfer!

Best Uses of Virgin Flying Club points:

Two great uses are domestically on Delta within the US or US-Mexico/Canada and for economy flights to/from Europe that are as few as 12,000 miles each way on partners such as KLM or Delta. Delta One awards not to/from the US should still be a deal. Delta One to/from Europe is still 50,000 points but now with surcharges of around $1,000, so that “sweet spot” is dead.

The other, well known, “best use” is to book ANA First and Business class awards:

  • First Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 145,000 points Round Trip
  • First Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 170,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 105,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 120,000 points Round Trip

Get a 25% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air France Flying Blue.

Offer expires on May 31, 2025

Get 25% Bonus Flying Blue Miles when you transfer Ultimate Rewards® points between 12:00 AM ET on May 1, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on May 31, 2025. Bonus Miles will be awarded by Flying Blue in your Flying Blue account after your transfer is complete.

The first thing to know is that Air France Flying Blue transfer bonuses are frequent.

Here is a list of historical transfer bonuses from Chase to Air France Flying Blue and here is a list of historical transfer bonuses to Air France Flying Blue from all programs

The last one from Chase was 20% at the start of this year and one from Chase last April for 25%.

Across all programs, we had 5 transfer bonuses to Flying Blue ranging from 20% – 25%.

Note that the minimum rates for some Flying Blue awards have recently increased:

Flying Blue rates are variable, so run a search before transferring. When you get lucky, business class from the US to Europe can run as low as 60,000 Flying Blue miles (up from 50,000 previously). But that would be just 48,000 credit card points during this promotion!

Flying Blue is often the best way to book Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from the US to Europe and beyond, due to the lowest taxes of any way to book Virgin Atlantic, however with Virgin’s new dynamic pricing you really have to compare the pricing on both programs as it can now be cheaper with Virgin in some cases. Flying Blue can also book Delta, KLM, and other SkyTeam members when Saver award space is available.

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 earn rate for spend on dining and at supermarkets as well as airfare
  • No Preset Spending Limit. No Preset Spending Limit means your spending limit is flexible. Unlike a traditional card with a set limit, the amount you can spend adapts based on factors such as your purchase, payment, and credit history.
  • You can choose the traditional American Express Gold Card color or the unique Rose Gold versions

Pros

  • For a pure combination of spending on dining, groceries, and airfare, the American Express Gold card is unmatched
  • Although the annual fee seems high, you can actually come out ahead by using available monthly statement credits
  • Earns valuable American Express Membership rewards points and card membership includes the highly regarded American Express customer service

Cons

  • The annual fee of $325, despite the statement credits that can offset it, is steep for some
  • Bonus categories are limited to just three
  • 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.

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..
