Amex transfer partners

US American Express Membership Rewards points transfer to 16 airlines and 4 hotel programs. Most airlines, including Delta, British Airways, Air Canada Aeroplan and Flying Blue, are 1:1; Cathay Pacific, Emirates and JetBlue are 5:4, Aeromexico 1:1.6 and Hilton 1:2. UK Membership Rewards has its own list, with Emirates at 2:1 and Marriott at 2:3.

Comparison

Avios vs Amex Membership Rewards

Hold Membership Rewards until you have an Avios booking in mind. Amex points transfer to Avios at 1:1 and never expire while you keep an MR-earning Card, so they are the flexible form of the same value. Avios lapse after 36 months of inactivity and can only be spent in Avios programs.

Comparison

Marriott Bonvoy vs Hilton Honors

A Marriott Bonvoy point is worth more than a Hilton Honors point — about 0.73 cents against 0.4, per the published US valuations — so a Hilton balance has to be roughly twice the size to buy the same night. Both expire after 24 consecutive months of inactivity. Compare a specific night in cents per point, not balances.

Comparison

Avios vs AAdvantage miles

Avios and AAdvantage miles land close in value — about 1p per Avios against roughly 1.5 cents per mile — so the deciding factor is usually the cash charges, because a British Airways Avios reward adds carrier charges on top of tax. Avios expire after 36 months of inactivity; AAdvantage miles after 24.

Comparison

Chase vs Amex points

Pick the currency whose exclusive partners you will use. Chase alone reaches United, Southwest, World of Hyatt, IHG and Wyndham; Amex alone reaches Delta, ANA, Cathay Pacific, Qatar, Emirates and Hilton, with 16 US airlines to Chase's 10. Both move points 1:1 to Avios, Flying Blue, Aeroplan, Singapore and Virgin, and neither expires while its card stays open.
