Now Citi lets us transfer TY points to American Airline at 1:1 with the TY Premier card. This is far better than Chase's 1:1 to United and AmEx' 1:1 to Delta. One of the few reward programs that we can transfer to the large US airlines directly.

Both Citi and Cap1 will kick AmEx' butt with the new offering.... The City Premier only costs $95 and earns 3x on some common categories.
