Let me tell you about my 6 month old tumi carry on... Checked it in on one international flight and reunited with only 3 wheels at baggage claim. It was just the beginning of my trip in Europe I was so damn pissed.

Depends on what type of points... Amex is a simple transfer, but Delta I just gave the whole account... 350k points for $4.5k

How many points did you use?

What's done is done but I plan to take my chances on $100 bags - can get all 5 of them for the cost of that one tumi bag. Better yet going samsonite old school with the 10yr warranty. 😳

Am I really the only one who sells points? I'm consistently able to average about $4k a year selling points. So much better than the junk on AMEX shopping.

But how do you give points to others?

Only used 60k points as there was a discount applied by Amex. It was too good of a deal to pass up.

60k AMEX points = $800-$900 cash on the open market. That can buy a lot of Tumi.

@D1 - I like money. To each their own.
