I've had the Amex blue card for students for 12+ years now. I opened it in high school to start building credit. I never used the points for anything. I've since moved on to better cards/rewards programs, but I still have tens of thousands of points on my original account which is still open. What is the best use of that card's points? Has anyone been able to transfer the points from that card to something else? The best redemption for that card is 0.5 cents a point (booking flights or redeeming gift cards), something I'd rather not do if I can get a better exchange rate. I also don't want to close the account as it is my longest account on my credit report, is there a way to change the card benefits without closing the account?
Thanks!
