It's interesting UK has AMEX, and the US card program partners with Chase, offering Visa instead.

I live in the US but don't bother with AMEX. Chase has a compelling program to points through their Ultimate Rewards program (Sapphire Reserve+Freedom+Freedom Unlimited cards), which you can then transfer 1:1 to Avios and combine with the Chase BA Visa for the 2-4-1 voucher.

Fun article in the NYT about the competitive situation that has developed in the US, which, as noted in the article, is playing out well for the cardholders. A good time to be rich and interesting.
