It's fairly comparable. Again, these are the personal values I assign to the points.
OK, thanks. I think I get a bit less value than you do for UR. Also, the 15% Citigold bonus must be considered for some of us, making TY worth (4.8 + .72) = 5.52 cents.
Best solution is to have both kinds, seems like.
