Is my best option for Cathay J crediting Alaska?
That one’s tricky - Amex and Delta have a really tight relationship. As such, Amex is the only card where their points can be directly converted to Delta Skymiles. The Marriott Bonvoy program allows you to transfer points earned through their cards, as well as stays, to Delta though, so that’s an option.
However, Chase Ultimate Rewards is a transfer partner to Marriott Bonvoy, so you could get a card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Reserve (both great travel reward cards), transfer your Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy, and then transfer them to Delta. Kind of a roundabout way to get to the end result, but that’s an option.
I was in the same problem (I have AMEX gold and found that many places wouldn’t accept it). Not because I work at Visa (lol), but I recommend Capital One Venture X. DM for referral if interested.
Great sign on referral promo right now, also get back $300 in statement credits for flights per year + $100 in points each year along with travel benefits like trip delay or cancellation protection, cell phone protection, price drop protection, luggage reimbursement, free lounge access, Hertz status, etc.
10x on hotels, 5x on flights, 2x on everything else $395 annual fee - get back $400 in statement credits plus additional benefits each year for a gain of $5 to you.
No FX fee on any capital one credit cards either.
