What points are the most valuable?

Card Recommendation Request (Template Used)

⁠ ⁠Hello folks! I would like to get some insight on what points you consider to be the most valuable. I like to collect travel credit cards, and am debating on what card I should open next. I use my points exclusively for flights, and prioritize redemption for J or F class fares to Japan and other parts of Asia. I don’t particularly care for hotel redemptions.

Which points from credit cards do you consider the most valuable and offer the best transfer ratio and flight redemptions? I plan on getting all the ones listed below eventually, (annual fees are not an issue) but would like some more travel card recommendations and see which ones are your favorite.

Current cards:

⁠• ⁠Amex Gold & Plat

⁠• ⁠Chase Sapphire Preferred⁠ & Reserve

⁠• Cap1 Venture X

• ⁠FICO Score: 735

• ⁠Oldest account age: 4 years

• ⁠Chase 5/24 status: 3/24

• ⁠Income: e.g. $80,000

• ⁠Open to Business Cards: Maybe?

• ⁠What's the purpose of your next card: Travel

• ⁠Do you have any cards you've been looking at: Alaska Atmos, Bilt Palladium, Citi Strata Elite
