Best ways to earn & redeem

Put your travel and dining spending on this card to earn at its highest rates, and let a different card handle the categories it does not bonus. Its travel rate is among the stronger ones you will find in that category.

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.
