Bilt added JetBlue TrueBlue as a 1:1 transfer partner on October 20, 2026, with no launch bonus. We value a TrueBlue point at 1.3 cents in every cabin, about half our default value for a Bilt Point, so the new route fits a JetBlue flight you'd otherwise pay cash for, and you don’t have another use for Bolt points. Our default Bilt value moved up by a hundredth of a cent.

A new member asked for the SKYPASS business card, so we added U.S. Bank's whole SKYPASS lineup and priced Korean Air's miles from its own award chart. Here's what each card earns and what a SKYPASS mile is worth.

On September 23, 2026, Bilt added Amtrak Guest Rewards as a transfer partner at 2 Bilt Points to 1 Amtrak point. Amtrak prices reward travel off the cash fare, so we value Guest Rewards points at 2.66 cents on every train and in every class. At 2 to 1, a transfer returns about half of our default Bilt value. It can still make sense for a trip you'd buy with cash anyway, and Bilt's minimums, the account link and Amtrak's 24-month expiry rule all apply.

On September 20, 2026, Citi ThankYou Points started transferring to JAL Mileage Bank at 1:1 on the annual-fee cards, with a 30 percent launch bonus through October 24 and a quieter 25 percent Avianca bonus on the same window. We read it from Citi's own partner table the day it went live. Here is what the new partner is good for, and why our published value of a ThankYou point moved by a hundredth or two of a cent rather than more.

After promising transfer partners for December 2025 and then going quiet for eight months, U.S. Bank turned them on - then spent its first three weeks reshuffling the roster. Altitude points now move to Air France-KLM Flying Blue, Qantas, Ethiopian ShebaMiles and Avianca LifeMiles at 1:1, and to ALL Accor at 2:1. The catch: only the Altitude Reserve can transfer, and that card has been closed to new applicants since November 2024.

American Express quietly added The Leading Hotels of the World's Leaders Club as its 20th transfer partner on July 28, 2026, at 4:1. It is the most valuable hotel transfer Amex offers, and there is no award chart behind it: reward nights are priced off each hotel's own published cash rate. Here is what Leaders Club points are worth, and why our Amex valuation went up when the partner landed.

Hyatt points are worth 1.8¢ each. Marriott: 0.7¢. IHG: 0.7¢. Hilton: 0.4¢. The gap is enormous, and it comes down to portfolio size, award pricing models, and how aggressively each chain dilutes its currency.

Cents per point (CPP) is the one number that tells you whether a redemption is brilliant or terrible. Here's how to calculate it, why it varies so wildly, and the three-tier framework that makes sense of it all.
