AmEx MR points

[Anonymous]

Thank you all.

As I understood, the best value is to transfer to airline/hotel program during transfer bonuses period. The ratio could be up to 1.9 cents per MR point.

Popular options are Delta and British Airways.

Where are you flying from and to? 

Another airline partner for MR points is Air France / Flying Blue. Good redemptions from them virtually anywhere on partner airlines. Beats British Airways to Europe because of the BA fuel surcharges.

>2.5 cents per point and you are doing pretty good some people get up to 7ish or whatever..  google the points guy and Redeeming Amex Membership Rewards for Maximum Value.  This should start you out on the right path.

Round trip from IAH to DCA.

Options for US domestic flights (As far as I know):

- Transfer MR points to Delta Skymiles

- Transfer MR points to British Airways Avios and use it for American Airlines flights

- Transfer MR points to Air Canada Aeroplan, ANA, or Singapore Airlines and use it for United Airlines

To get the best deal:

- wait for transfer bonuses

- register (or call) to all (Delta, British Airways, Air Canada Aeroplan, ANA, or Singapore Airlines) programs and check cost (in points and in USD) for the flight and availability

- compare the price of the flight with better non-MR-friendly airlines

Only after all these steps we can found the real MR transfer ratio.

Looks kind of complicated for me now.
