I get asked what my “go-to” credit card is. Well, when I’m not trying to meet a minimum spend, it’s the Starwood Preferred Guest Amex. Why?
- Starwood points are the most flexible (see the airline mile partners here).
- For every 20,000 points you transfer into miles, you get a 5,000 mile bonus.
- If you’re short on hotel points (most people), the Cash + Points hotel options are incredible.
On top of that, they have transfer bonuses every so often. In March, it was a 50% bonus to US Airways. Right now, it’s a 25% bonus to British Airways.
***No, British miles aren’t the best around, but they are giving out bonuses like candy (see the 30% bonus from Membership Rewards). ***
