Summary

American Express has added Leading Hotels of the World as a new transfer partner, allowing members to transfer points at a 4:1 ratio. Despite the seemingly high transfer ratio, some high-end hotels can be booked for around 4,500 points per night, which is comparable to or even fewer points than transferring to Hilton or Marriott. Leaders Club offers benefits such as free breakfast and upgrades, and top-tier Sterling status can be obtained with an American Express Platinum Card. The program offers a potentially high value of around 2 cents per Amex point.
