AmEx MR points

[Anonymous]

I will have ~26k MR points soon on my AmEx Green card.

What is a best value for MR points?

Is statement credit is only 0.6 cents per 1 MR point?

I do plan to have a flight in spring. should I shop through AmEx web site or transfer points somewhere?

Definitely not a statement credit!  Transferring to travel partners is the best use of them.  Others will weigh in that are experts in this area.

Have additional question:

Any recommendation for new CC with bonus MR points? So, that I can combine all these points somehow.

Another MR points card..  No AF and this is a revolver vs. a CC.  Using Incongito/private browser mode and opening this up should have a 15k sign-up bonus

Or if you want the PRG charge card $195 AF after first year which is free for 50k MR's same thing as above privtae mode browser

Thank you, CreditCuriousity.

How the transfer works? Who are the partners? Never done it before.

before applying for new amex card i would go log on into your amex account and look at what partners they do have.

I love my PRG Amex! Just received my 50k MR points last week after spending $1k in about 2 months. Will definitely use the points towards my international travel next year

You answered your own question, indirectly.  

1. You should never redeem for gift cards unless none of the transfer partners work for you.

2. The best value will always be to transfer out to an airline partner.

Wish I could link blog sites here..  Best best is to use google and search how to best use Membership rewards and you will get tons of hits.  Unless someone here feels like typing up an essay.

I agree. It is best to google how to use any miles points (Chase, Amex, etc) as there are literally thousands of them already existing.
