i use it towards hotels or flights


I've looked and every time I have, the ratio just doesn't make sense... Only thing I have found that provides a solid ratio is gc's to restaurants and retails. Hell, even if you shop on their site, a lot of the ratios are shite compared to just buying a gc and going to a store.

Its not like Chase Sapphire where you get 20% additional if you book through them, unless I am completely missing something.

well, i have the blue skies card. its one of the few that doesnt have a fee. I have actually been thinking about switching reward cards to get better bang for the buck. I just havent wanted to pay for an annual fee.

You're missing something. I can transfer my Amex points out to British Airways and twice a year I get up to a 40% bonus on miles. So 100,000 points transfers out to 140,000 BA Avios.
