Still, although I'd give more consideration to the benefits, I would have to say that Membership Rewards edges out Thankyou Points here since at the very least they boast the better hotel selection and offer
better airline transfer options.
My preferred program is Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) for its low cost redemptions in South East Asia,
generous airline transfer options, great customer service and easy to use BRG
The American Express Membership Rewards program features 16
different airline transfer options and three hotel options, while the Citi ThankYou Points program has 11 different carriers plus Hilton HHonors.
There are a host of different ways you can use Starpoints (you'll find a menu by following this link) but, for the purposes of this post, I'm going to concentrate on
the airline transfer options that Starpoints give you.
