Featured reviews got updates - Best Two-Card Combos && SPG vs. MR vs. UR vs. TY vs. CR && All About Airport Lounges && Comparing High-End Cards

2014 is an interesting year for those who are interested in the programs that allow points transfer to miles/points of frequent traveler programs (airline or hotel loyalty programs).  Before July 2014, we had three excellent programs that had the transfer features - Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG), Membership Rewards (MR) from American Express, and Ultimate Rewards (UR) from Chase.  In July, Citi finally enhanced its rewards program - ThankYou (TY) to allow miles/points transfer.  In September, Diners Club started accepting new applications for personal cards in the U.S., and now we have another program - Club Rewards (CR) with the transfer feature that is widely available to U.S. consumers.  Please see our updated featured review SPG vs. UR vs. MR vs. TY vs. CR for details.

In April, Amex introduced the EveryDay Preferred, which we think is the most exciting new product Amex brought to the market in years.  In September, Diners Club rebranded Carte Blanche personal card Diners Club Card Elite, which is a great alternative to some of our favorite cards.  In October, Citi Prestige did away with the old flight points and 2-1 rewards structure and began the new 3-2-1 rewards structure.  All these dramatically changed our recommendations for the best two-card combos.  Please see our updated featured review Best Two-Card Combos.
