[QUOTE="Mountain Trader, post: 436216, member: 99"] So what does Amex do? If I'm Amex, I would follow Starwood's exit by replicating the current SPG program with all the existing airlines, plus new hotel amd other transfer partners. Toss in a cash redepmtion offer and it would beat Citi TYPs, and in my view, Chase UR too. Look at all those airline partners, including AA and DL. Here's a reason that may not work: Most of those airlines have agreements for branded cards with other banks. Citi would love to get Amex away from AA, Barlcays would love to get Amex away from LH, etc. Amex' contracts with those airlines may have left them little room to move the SPG business to another program, even if similar.
