Credit Card Point Program Match Up

Dear Annabelle,

I keep having to look up which credit card point programs go with what frequent flyer (or hotel) program so I have summarized it in this post.

These point programs let you transfer the points into the airline or hotel programs of your choice (within their list) or use the points directly to pay for travel in a set way.

After doing the work below I found a full chart that is super helpful.  It is shared as a Google Doc here.

My original chart:

    1. Since making this I actually found a really nice full table (incl. all the SPG and extra partners) and have since lost it. I can't seem to find it but am guessing I will stumble across it again and make sure to note it here!
