Closing CC, 50K MR points & no travel goal - where to transfer them?
« on: February 08, 2017, 11:42:37 AM »
Hi,

I've got about 50K MR points I want to transfer outside AMEX. I have no clear travel goal at the moment that I can use them for.
I figured that BA and Singapore Airlines are good general destinations.

Any other recommendation?

park them in a no annual fee Amex card.
The Amex EveryDay Card has no annual fee and earns 1.2 Membership Rewards points per dollar everywhere and 2.4 points per dollar on groceries and Uber when you make at least 20 transactions per month.

Thank you, that's an interesting proposal.
I have SPG and Chase Reserved (and a few others), so my everyday spending mostly goes to them. I'm also concerned Chase cards I might want to have in the future, with respect to 5/24 rule.

Thank you, I've ended up moving it to SQ - for UA redemption and other destinations covered by SQ.
