TY points for Macy's giftcards?

[Anonymous]

I have a ty preferred & the prestige card but I don't really travel on American Airlines & ty is having a sale for macys gift cards 4.5k pts for 50$ gift card  (10% off) would that be more worth redeeming vs airlines (percentage wise) ? 

Thanks

Redeeming the points for giftcards isn't the best route here.  Do you not travel at all?

You can get 1.33 cpp on an airline other than AA.

You can get Macys giftcards at around 6-8% discount anyway (see giftcardgranny) + whatever reward your credit card gives you on the purchase, so 10% isn't all that compelling a use of TYP.    But, if nothing else appeals, and you have to use them now for some reason, OK.   But can't you save them for your next trip.  And also consider if the Prestige is the right card for you!

Well for me the 4th night free on hotels already pay more than enough to cover the annual fee plus more, then add on the 250$ airline credit even if i use it for one trip a year, it's worth it for me
