Waitlists, 100,000 bonus miles, and "strictly no fee waivers": My tribute to the Standard Chartered X Card (2019-2023).

With an introductory 5 mpd earn rate and zero FCY fees for 4 months, here's how I'd maximise the value from a StanChart Journey Card.

StanChart has stopped believing in the X Card, relaunching it as the mass-market Journey with a "45K miles" sign-up bonus and up to 3 mpd.

Regularly checking your points balance is good miles game hygiene. Which banks make it easy to track points, and which don't?

Standard Chartered cardholders will now need to transfer points in blocks of at least 10,000 miles, instead of the previous 1,000 miles.

Which credit cards let you earn non-expiring rewards points (and is it really that big a deal)?

Standard Chartered 360° Rewards Points used to pool, but the new transfer portal makes this a much messier affair.

How much is a 360° Rewards point worth? It depends on what Standard Chartered cards you have.
