I’m Going to Cancel My Citi Hilton Credit Card – Here’s Why
Last week, I wrote that American Express would become the exclusive issuer for Hilton Honors co-branded credit cards in the US.

Amex Membership Rewards to JetBlue Bonus

The transfer ratio is now an even 250 MR points to 250 TrueBlue points. The normal ratio is 250:200. Depending on the flight, each TrueBlue point can be worth around 1.7-1.8 cents and the points never expire. These transfer bonuses come around occasionally, but certainly not frequently.
