Chase and Amex have not publicly announced that they&#8217;re losing Skywards as a transfer partner or devaluing the transfer rates. However, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if devaluing transfer partners becomes a growing trend.<\/p>\n<p>Members are able to get outsize value for their points and miles thanks to the flexibility they have to transfer those points and miles to loyalty programs. So, are airline and hotel loyalty programs trying to deter this flexibility and coerce more loyalty within a program by devaluing transfers?<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;m interested to see how this plays out.
