If you plan to fly Continental or United you are much better off with AMEX cards that earn Membership Rewards points or one of the Chase Continental cards. Other than those two domestic airlines, the SPG card is the best card to use. (Transfer 20000 SPG points and get 25000 FF miles.

Understood 100%, I saw this on the SPG rewards website.


I am just checking to make sure that I have the right procedure in theory. When I decide which airline I will fly of course I will take this into consideration (according to SPG website you can't transfer over miles to Iberia, just fly on them as a reward).

I just want to make sure that I have the procedure correct.


Is it?
