*Calls broker: "I have 60k MR to sell at a discount of 15cpp"*

On a serious note I was pretty excited recently when I got 5cpp.

Yeh, that's not bad.

Haha :)

Return was booked with AA on TN for 36k X2.
Correction for the LAX-PPT flight: Flying on AF booked through DL on MR portal (35% back).

Booking today my PPT-BOB RT flights for about 29k a person on UR portal since it’s not showing up on either MR or Merrill portals.

Splurging and staying 5 nights at SR and one night at Conrad.

PPT-BOB RT in Y on Air Tahiti for 29k UR x2

Per @Ergel thats too many stops.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

YYZ-AMS in 9W F 777

46,154 Amex (Xfr'd to 60,000 VS) = 16.81 CPP.

Worth noting that the flight from AMS to YYZ is significantly cheaper at about $2K for first class OW.

Didn’t pay any YQ.

From the comments seems either it’s a case of YMMV or it could be they just recently made a change to it.
