 <li>'''Since you can convert “transferable” credit card points to many different types of frequent flyer miles and you can redeem each of those types of miles on many different partner airlines, your credit card points can each be used to book frequent flyer tickets on over 100 different airlines'''.</li>
-<li>'''Because you can use them with multiple frequent flyer programs, “transferable” credit card points are usually more valuable than miles you earn directly with a frequent flyer program—and are the best place to start focusing your travel rewards efforts'''. As discussed above, Ultimate Rewards, Membership Rewards, and ThankYou Rewards points let you take advantage of award availability on over a hundred different airlines and let you take advantage of “sweet spots” in each program (where you can get tickets for fewer than the normal number of miles). {{Link|Transferable Points|Transferable Credit Card Points are Usually Better than Regular Airline Miles}}.</li>

As discussed above, Ultimate Rewards, Membership Rewards, and ThankYou Rewards points let you take advantage of award availability on around a hundred different airlines and let you take advantage of “sweet spots” in each program (where you can get tickets for fewer than the normal number of miles). {{Link|Transferable Points|Transferable Credit Card Points are Usually Better than Regular Airline Miles}}.</li>
 For example, rather than concentrating on earning Delta miles with Delta’ credit cards, you can focus on earning Amex's Membership Rewards points. If you want, those Membership Rewards points can then be converted into Delta miles on a one to one basis,  but they also have the flexibility to be transferred to many other airline programs, should the need arise.

 <li>'''Each frequent flyer program requires a different number of miles for the same flight'''. For example, Delta requires 45,000 points for a round trip ticket to Hawaii. But Korean Airlines only requires 25,000 points, for the exact same flights. The number of miles required depends on the PROGRAM you are using, not on the AIRLINE you are flying.</li>
-<li>'''You can take advantage of whichever program requires the fewest number of miles for your flights'''. As described more fully below, if you are collecting points from credit cards, you'll usually have the option to take advantage of many different frequent flyer programs. Since flights on each airline can be booked with multiple programs, you can choose the program (that you have access to) which requires the smallest amount of points and fees. There are several resources that can help you choose which program to use. {{Link|Booking Awards}}.</li>

-<li>'''You can use each program's frequent flyer miles to book tickets on any of their partner airlines'''. Almost every frequent flyer program has a set of partner airlines, which you can use for earning and redeeming miles. For example, you don't need to use your United miles to book flights on United. You can use them for frequent flyer tickets on Air China, Asiana, ANA, Lufthansa, Singapore, or any of a couple of dozen other airlines.</li>
