Amex travel using points it looks like 1 pt =$1, which seems like a good conversion? But if say I book an american flight using amex points, through amex travel, would I still get freq flyer points?

1 cent per point is a bad redemption.

Each point is worth $.02 and even that valuation is debatable (assumes you use transfer partners correctly)

That’s can’t be right. It’s like 10k = $100. But yes to your second question

Sorry each point is one penny. Not sure I'm saying it correctly. My fare on american is $800 for example. I can pay $800 on my amex card or use 80,000 amex membership rewards pts. To me this means each point is one cent. My question I still am wondering is if I book this using 80,000 amex points, will I earn American freq flyer points for the flight?

Yes

Ok thanks.can anyone answer original question? If not, will call amex...

I answered your question twice already. 😒

1 cent is actually about the max you can get for Amex. If you get a gift card it's often 0.5 cents per point

^this, if you’re getting 1 cent you don’t know what you’re doing

USD Salary * 155 is probably what one would receive currently. I am aware of blue dollar rate which would diminish the value. i.e. (USD * 155)/288=true dollar value. I have few questions on this:1. Can we take the actual pesos (usd * 155) and buy gold at normal gold rate? Do we see disparity in rates even while buying gold?
2. Can use official conversion to buy Alt stable crypto coins ? which are directly linked to dollar 3. Can we invest in any instrument that does not diminish the Salary?
