While I understand that Skymiles are generally poor value, I like having the option to transfer in the rare instances it makes sense.

Factoring in UR category and overall bonuses but not potential UR mall spend since that changes frequently I would have had:

31,000 UR points

vs

15,000 StarPoints
5,000 CapOne Points

I don't spend enough on the CapOne card for those points to really get me much. On the other hand, the UR hotel programs don't redeem as well as Starpoints (I almost choked on some of the Marriott reward costs I looked up).

You are a better man than I leaving Delta in Detroit. I just can't give up the non-stops.
