2) most of us here dont just have 1 card, so you can achieve the same transfer partners by getting a few cards. if you want UA and/or hyatt, get chase, if you want AS, get BOA, and if you want JL, get C1. the transfer partners are not unique, and even if C1 has a worse transfer ratio, the SUB and better multipliers more than compensate

unless bilt 2.0 surprises me, im dropping my bilt card
I hear what you’re saying but that isn’t the question. This is about Rakuten and the question is what is more valuable: 1 Bilt point or 1 AMEX point.

And the answer is undeniably Bilt.
