In the US, it looks like after Aug 1, AMEX SPG is going 2 points/dollar.
I agree.

US cards set the tone of the transfer ratio. Our Canadian cards have has a history of being inferior to the American counter parts. So the odds are likely we will have a worse exchange rate.

One of Colbat card's main attraction is the SPG transfer. Once that gets devalued, I wonder how users are going to respond.
