so a friend of mine has built up almost close to 1 million MR points over the years. He is now starting to finally try and use them for flights. what is the best way to redeem them. directly book through amex, or transfer to airlines and book through them...i think i remember dan posting a transfer chart for the starwood amex but couldnt remember if he had one for Gold Amex, as this is the one that my friend has. any advice or ideas are greatly appreciated. thanks
