The three major credit issuers are Chase, Citi, and American Express. Each program has the points system where you can earn points by using their particular credit card from daily expenses to traveling. One of the perks for points redemption is the ability to transfer them to each card issuer's partners such as airlines, hotels, and trains. This is a very great venue to redeem points and the best use of your points.
Below is the complete list of each credit card issuer's program and their transfer partners that I have put together.
1:1 transfer unless specified in the format of (Program:Partner)
Underlined partner means each program has it.
Do keep in mind that sometimes each program has bonus promotional offer for transferring points to each partner. Do the math and take advantage of that promotion if the normal transfer ratio is poor.
