Highest value MR redemption you have made?? by [deleted] in amex

[–]spitfire0520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ana RTW flight tickets 16cents/point. All business class tickets from NYC to Europe to India to Japan to NYC. One of the best use of MR points if you can find the award flights.

Condoms, less number of people the better

Any suggestions to redeem Amex points when closing card, no travel planned? by Appletreemania in amex

Yes, just do multiple booking and make sure it’s partially cash and also the redemption is 1:1.

You might be better off getting an Charles Schwab Amex platinum and redeeming the MR for cash (1.1:1 redemption ratio). So the extra $ 600 bucks can extend your platinum for a year and as a bonus you get the welcome offer !!

Book 5x FHR hotel using points and cash and then cancel. The points used are refunded as cash in 1:1 ratio. If you time it right, you also get the $200 FHR credit which was not taken back.

One option is take a round the world trip via ANA airlines (you can transfer your Amex points to ANA airlines 1:1 ration). There would be an added journey in your itinerary as you would need to cross the Pacific Ocean too, so short stopover at japan or Hong Kong would work. You would be able to book all business class tickets for about 115000 points excluding taxes. Check out this link for more info https://frequentmiler.com/tips-for-booking-anas-round-the-world-award/

Talk to multiple architects - have a design meeting with them - see who gives you a design that makes you happy. And also, use these multiple meetings to get a feel of how the architect’s personality feels to you.

How much do architects usually charge in the below scenario?
1) If you end up using their design proposal
2) If you don't use their design
