Swype ranks this card at 1¢ per point — its cash-out value, because it can’t transfer on its own.

How these numbers work

Cash out and fixed travel rates are what the program pays per point. Issuers show them in your account rather than on product pages, so Swype records the rates reported by the sources below.

Swype estimate: 80% of the lowest independent valuation, rounded down. It assumes you transfer to airline or hotel partners and book typical awards; your result can be higher or lower. Independent valuations for this currency run 2¢–2.3¢.

Accounts opened before June 23, 2025 may still get legacy portal rates (1.25–1.5¢) for a limited time.
