Good to know
8 partners: 5 airline, 3 hotel. Partners and ratios agree across Prince of Travel (updated 23 Oct 2026) and Milesopedia (updated 29 Oct 2026, ratios as of Sep 2026). The official Amex Canada transfer page could not be fetched: it redirects to the US global page, and the en-ca benefits page failed with a header overflow. Official sources used: the MR Terms PDF and its June 2026 Etihad notice (its rate table, dated 04/25, still shows Flying Blue at 1,000:750), and ALL Accor's Amex Canada page. The terms list three tiers (Prima, MR and MR Select, e.g. Cobalt); the PDF table marks airline and hotel transfers for all three. Conflict: Milesopedia says the Cobalt page lists only 7 partners, without Delta or Accor. Prince of Travel: minimum 1,000 MR, steps of 100. No transfer fee is mentioned. Transfer times aren't published. 2026 changes: Flying Blue improved from 1:0.75 to 1:1 on 3 Jan 2026; Etihad Guest removed 20 Jun 2026; ALL Accor added 29 Jul 2026 at 2:1. Prince of Travel's sidebar says 10 partners while its body lists 8.
