Amex MR Points

Silly question, but the last Amex I had was the hhonors card so this wasn't an issue. 

 

Can MR points be redeemed for cash and direct deposited into your account like UR, Discover, Citi, etc?

I know you can use it to erase certain purchases although I have never used it that way. A very poor redemption value IMO.

You can us it to pay your bill but no direct cash back.  As red says, poor value though

Re: Amex MR Points

I used my amex at mcdonalds one time and on the screen it offered me an option to use my MR points to pay and told me how many it would cost me. I didn't do it because it is poor value but it was interesting to see that option pop up at the time of sale.

Yes, I too have seen this. Also, I've received emails form Amex pushing this Mcdonalds angle.
