Understanding the limits of the Discover it ® Miles card when it comes to rewards and
miles redemption benefits is an important factor to take into consideration.
If you have a Chase Freedom card, and are later approved for the Chase Sapphire Preferred, the new transfer and
redemption benefits apply to all existing points.
Additional employee cards may be added for no additional expense, and these extra cards all can contribute to the stockpile of miles
for redemption benefits.
Clearly this is an attempt by Amex to compete with the Chase Sapphire Reserve's 1.5 cents per
point redemption benefit, which is by far the most valuable aspect of that card (and the one I think is most likely to be cut back sooner rather than later).
Passengers of both airlines will be able to book travel to their final destination on a single ticket with through - checked bags as well as enjoy reciprocal mileage accrual and
redemption benefits.
