Amex Zync Rewards Value

[Anonymous]

Interesting, I could have sworn that I had seen half a penny per point when I had zync.  That was about a year ago, maybe it could have changed.  Still, .63 cents per point is not much better.

I have a trip planned this summer for San Francisco, tickets averaging around $420 round trip. i would like to use my Zync rewards for covering part of my tickets.

If I book through the Amex site it gives me the choice to use points to pay for my flight. What are the value of the points, I.e. dollar value of the points, if I use this method?

Is there a difference in the value I get for my points if I do that or just book the flight and then use my points to get a statement credit for the value (while still earning points on the full purchase price of my ticket)?

Thanks!

When I did checked out using points for something charged it really sucked. Unless they give you much better exchange rate when paying for travel, i would stay away from it as an option,

WHOLEFDS MLW 10197 04142210036

 charge amount $62.11

pay with point costs: 10,352

I would advise using points to buy Gift Cards for resturants which you may visit while on your trip Rewards program has Chili's  has giftcards and others for  for a  a penny a point. so $25 gift card is 2500 points, of course you are free to get larger gift cards. Or just get gift cards for food you will eat while not enteraining... and since your meals will be re-imbursed fully, you turn points in to cash at a penny a point
