Keep as AmEx MR.

(If the market weren't flooded with BA, the analysis might be a bit closer.)

If he has a longer term outlook though, it may be worth transferring for when their value recovers.
I got lucky and got rid of around 300k BA right b/f the transfer for around 1.6cpm.

They're worth more than that now.

If it's a one-time thing and you're not doing anything overly suspicious, you have nothing to worry about, especially if the passenger is the same as the BA accountholder.

Trying to book a flight form NYC to CLV. for Aug 5. BA is not showing any morning flights. Tried Akron and BA does not fly to that airport. Looking for help in finding a morning flight using BA points.

If you're looking for flights to Cleavland, OH, you have to search for CLE.

Beat me to it, but my answer is arguably more helpful :P

Did you try to search AA.com? If you can't find Saaver availability (coach 12.5k one-way, 25k round-trip) then BA won't allow you to book those flights. If you see 'em on AA.com, post back here and we'll walk you through the booking (BL"N) :)

Thanks for the offer. Nothing leaving in the AM from NYC to CLE. Is it possible that it can still open

Of course. Quite likely in fact.

If I cancel my platinum card will Iose the miles that I have in that account? Should I transfer out the miles before closing the account? The $450 fee is high. Thank you.
