Three guides that cover the whole game.
The mental model: three currencies, what a point is really worth, and the five mistakes that waste most people's balances.
Start here →Chase vs Amex vs Capital One vs Citi: how the four flexible-point programs differ. No card links, no pitch.
Compare ecosystems →Dining programs, shopping portals and hotel promos: the passive layers that build a real balance with no credit pull.
The no-card path →Where points punch above their weight: Flying Blue promos, Virgin Atlantic partners, LifeMiles and top-end Hyatt.
Find the value →New York to Paris for 18,750 effective points: pricing the cash fare, checking the points price, and knowing when to actually transfer.
Read the walkthrough →Everyone says "check availability first." Here's what that actually means: which tools to use, how to search flexibly, and when to give up on a route.
Learn to search →Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and IHG, honestly ranked: best value, most properties, best status perks.
Pick a program →Star Alliance, oneworld and SkyTeam explained: why alliance matters more for redeeming than earning.
Understand alliances →The availability trap single-passenger redemption guides never mention, and how to book around it.
Read the walkthrough →No fixed award chart, dynamic pricing that tracks cash fares, and where the value still hides.
Make sense of Delta →Who Chase, Amex, Capital One and Citi points actually transfer to, at a glance.
See the full chart →What it does, the two ways to earn it, and an honest read on who should actually chase it.
