With price of J falling this may even be a better option now - 70k UR transfer for hard-to-find TATL one-way in J vs $1400 cash back on a 2% card - and we are seeing quite a few tix at that price or lower.
I’ve been wondering about this too - surely the banks / card issuers have considered that, as the airlines and hotels devalue their reward programs, their cobranded credit cards become less attractive?
