What are other thoughts? Not sure if 1 SPG point is worth more than 1.5 AMEX MR or 1.5 Chase UR points.
Depends on how you use your points I suppose. I only use SPG points as my main currency to transfer to airlines but with the 2 pts per $ for everyday spend after August...that 33.33% hit will make the airline transfer a losing situation.
