Citi Prestige airline credit

What is the best use of the prestige airline credit if you do not have an immediate trip scheduled? I was thinking about just buying AA gift cards again, but don't know if someone has since found a way to get the credit to amazon or a better idea.

Re: Citi Prestige airline credit

I burnt mine on the remainder of a ticket purchase after using 8 AA GC's.

 

I guess you could buy miles from AA? (A very poor use of the credit, btw.)

Or buy more GC. Keep in mind, the GC's can't be used for MCE.

What is MCE? What do you recommend as a better use of the credit? I was just thinking of buying gift cards of the AA cash value so $250 of AA airfare not miles.

Why wouldn't gift cards count as cash? I don't understand the logic in that. Is there a better way to use the credit other than purchasing a flight straight out? Can you use the airline credit on taxes or fuel surcharge for an award redemption?
