What should I do with my MR points???

Getting ready to cancel my PRG since the AF is about to hit. Managed to get 30,000 MRPs. What should I do with them?

 

I have 65,000 Delta Skymiles and was considering transferring them over so that I could have 95,000. The flights to Europe and Central America I want on Delta can be had for 60K and 35K, so this would make sense.

 

I've heard good things about Avios on BA though. Don't have an account but could set one up.

 

I welcome feedback.

If you are unsure of what you really want to do, you can apply for an Amex Everyday account (no AF version), and hold the MR points there until you decide. Or, you could transfer them to your Delta travel account before you close like you were thinking.

Avios are good for short domestic flights, and give a great value for trips from the West Coast to Hawaii. You don't happen to live on the West Coast do you?

Roun trip from Oakland to the Hawaiian Islands is 25k miles. Assuming that you like Hawaii (who wouldn't really, LOL), it's a pretty amazing deal.
