What's a point worth?

Points aren't dollars. A Chase, Amex, Citi or Capital One point is worth about 1¢ as cash back, and often 1.5–2¢ or more when you move it to an airline or hotel partner. Our rates use your setting — Smart (travel value only when you hold a card that unlocks transfers), Cash value or Travel value. See how we rank.

Downgrade options: Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card — a product change keeps your account history if this card stops earning its fee.
