Best ways to earn & redeem
Put your dining, travel, and transit and rideshare spending on this card to earn at its highest rates, and let a different card handle the categories it does not bonus.
When you cash in, transfer the points to airline and hotel partners for potential outsized value, or take a flat 1 cent as cash or travel. We value every point at a flat 1 cent, so treat any transfer upside as a bonus rather than the baseline — see what your points are really worth.
