Many of you have an American Express card with Membership Rewards points. Until September 28th, Amex is having a “sale,” where you can save 15-40% on redemptions. I’m closing my card soon and don’t want to forfeit the points, so this is great news.
- The worst use of Membership Rewards points (by far) is on goods like the laptops and televisions they advertise.
- An average use is redeeming the points for gift cards.
- The best use is always to redeem your points for airline miles. Right now you get a 30% bonus on transfers to Virgin America (so-so) or a 40% bonus on transfers to British Airways.
Me? I took advantage of the bonus and transferred my 100,000+ points to British Airways.
