That’s crazy!
While many credit cards transfer to a range of airline ffp's at the same rate, earning from flying can very different between the various airline frequent flyer(spender) programs.
With awards earn to burn(miles & cash) is what is important. Redemption rules can be different.
Frequent flyer miles/avios/points/sky pesos are not 1 to 1
