Chase.

More transfer partners, solid conversion rate. I find them to be the most useable point currency out there. Amex are decent, but always start with Chase.

@D1, using your sapphire points for cash back is one if the lowest redemptions out there. 1.25 minimum going through their travel portal.

@K1 Could you elaborate on why? I've never had a points card so this is all new territory for me. Thanks.

Chase because I like getting the cash back. Not sure Amex does that

@D1 can you convert points to cashback?

Yes I do it for my freedom and sapphire

Chase for points, AMex for benefits

Chase because I fly United (Amex points won't transfer to United miles)

@D2 - yes I know, but I usually use hotel/airline pts for personal travel so I either get Amazon/Amex giftcards or just take the cash back. It more than pays for my annual fee so I'm happy
