EDIT: I guess allseas technically has a point. But I think many can see better value in transferring AMEX/Chase./Cap1 points elsewhere.
Also $75k for unlimited club.

Adding: I am not worried about eeking out every single point. I use CSR for my airline purchases because I like their insurance. I charge $75k on my delta reserve for the club. I would never hold only an Amex because you can’t use it absolutely everywhere.
