Express points cannot be transferred to any other program, but can be used to preserve a Membership Rewards balance. When you are ready to transfer you would need to apply for another Green, Gold or Platinum card.
Do they still keep the Blue, after introduce the Blue Cash / Sky?

What is the advantage of Membership Reward Express versus the outright cash rebate on the Blue Cash and Blue Sky, assuming the latter dont need to pass a spend threshold before earning any rebate. Doesn't the original Blue has a spend threshold to go over before you earn anything meaningful?
