American Express
Amex has personal and business cards earning either cash back or Membership Rewards (MR) points. MR point redemption options:
- Cash: 0.6 cpp
- Gift cards / Amazon: 0.5–1.0 cpp
- Amex Travel portal: ~1.0 cpp (marked-up prices reduce effective value)
- Transfer to airline/hotel partners (best value)
TPG estimated value: 2.0 cents per MR point (includes flexibility premium).

Transfers are irreversible, in 1,000-point increments. Amex charges 0.6 cpp excise tax (up to $99) on transfers to Delta and JetBlue.
Card sequences: Getting a higher-tier card makes you ineligible for signup bonuses on lower cards in the same sequence (lasts 7 years on credit report). Key sequence: Platinum > Gold > Green. Delta sequence: Reserve > Platinum > Gold > Blue. Business equivalents follow the same rule. Signup bonus is once per lifetime (7 years). Targeted offers may waive this ("no lifetime language" offers).
Application rules:
- 1 credit card per 5 days (charge cards exempt)
- 2 credit cards per 90 days (charge cards usually exempt)

Bilt
Bilt cards earn Bilt points on everyday purchases and can earn points on housing (rent/mortgage) via one of two options:
Option 1: Tiered rewards. Points earned per $1 on housing depend on non-housing spending as a % of monthly housing payment:
| Non-housing spend % | Housing earn rate |
|---|---|
| 25% | 0.5x |
| 50% | 0.75x |
| 75% | 1x |
| 100%+ | 1.25x |
If you don't meet any threshold: 250 points/month on housing.
Option 2: Bilt Cash system. Earn 4% back in Bilt Cash on all non-housing purchases. Use Bilt Cash to cover a 3% processing fee to earn 1x points on housing. To fully fund housing points, you need to spend ~75% of your housing payment on regular purchases. You can switch between options anytime (takes effect next month). Bilt Cash expires Dec 31 each year ($100 rollover allowed). Bilt points don't expire.
TPG estimated value: 2.2 cents per Bilt point (includes flexibility premium and frequent transfer bonuses).

- Platinum ($50K+ assets): 50% bonus
- Platinum Honors ($100K+ assets): 75% bonus

US Bank
US Bank offers cash back and rewards cards. The Smartly card features a tiered cash back system based on checking account balance.
Application rules:
- US Bank is conservative with approvals for non-existing customers.
- Generally requires an existing US Bank relationship (checking/savings) for best approval odds.
Transfer Partners — Airline Alliances
Airlines in the same alliance can book flights on each other's networks using their respective points programs.
- Star Alliance: Air Canada, ANA, United, Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines, TAP Portugal, EVA Air, Avianca, and others
- Oneworld: British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, Qantas, Iberia, Finnair, Alaska Airlines/Hawaiian Airlines (Atmos Rewards), American Airlines, and others
- SkyTeam: Air France-KLM, Delta, Virgin Atlantic, Aeromexico, and others
Airline point value tips: Business/first class international redemptions typically yield 2–3x the average cpp value. Key sweet spots: ANA for US-Tokyo business class, American Airlines for domestic economy (bookable via Alaska/Atmos points), Air France-KLM/Etihad/Virgin for international. Qantas and Air Canada often have good availability for Amex MR transfers.
Hotel point values (approximate median cpp): Hyatt: 1.7–2.3 cpp (category-based pricing, best value at luxury tiers). Hilton: 0.5–0.6 cpp (adaptive pricing). Marriott: 0.7–0.8 cpp. IHG: 0.5–0.6 cpp. Wyndham: 1.1–1.4 cpp. Choice: 0.6–0.8 cpp. Accor: 2.0–3.0 cpp. Hyatt offers the best high-end value due to category caps on pricing.
