AmEx > US Air
« on: April 28, 2012, 01:04:34 AM »
Here goes, I have 110,000 points with AmEx-gold, 171,000 US.Air points. I have been hoarding my AmEx points thinking I could use them in combination with USAir… well you know where this is going? I haven’t paid attention to who US Air partnered with. How can I transfer points into US Air so I can get first class to and from Europe? I do have 64,000 Hilton points (terrible conversion). I also am a Starwoods member but I don't have any points with them. I have booked a Cruise thru US Air, do you think that would give me any leeway with upgrades? Yes I do have the USAir MC.

HOW ABOUT USE AMEX FOR A ONE WAY BA FROM EUROPE ( MAY SAVE SOME FUEL / TAX THIS WAY ) AND A ONE WAY WITH US AIR --- I DO NOT FOLLOW US AIR AT ALL BUT I THINK THEY HAVE ONE WAY --- sorry about caps

Amx now has a bonus offer to transfer point from MR to BA

Exactly, no one way.  I have seats reserve (being held until Monday) if I can come up with the points.... 100,000, which I have more than enough with AmEx  :'(.  I'm traveling with friends who of course were able to get their seats because of Platinum status.

Was thinking the same but didn't want to rub it in
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.
