Not even close to accurate.

AMEX can't even do 1:1 to JetBlue like Chase does.

Hyatt is a better hotel transfer partner than anything AMEX has.

Delta is a weak transfer partner. Southwest and United are both better transfer partners.

Marriott is a weak transfer partner.

Hilton is a weak transfer partner.

In fact, I would go as far as saying MR has been devalued plenty over the last several years, where Chase has mostly remained the same or become slightly more valuable.
