If you travel for work try to book one night at a hotel in the Amex portal and then expense it. Becomes a $200 bonus :)

You can book the hotel beyond 12/31 but you won't be able to make any changes.

Change your airline to UA to convert those into $200 TravelBank, to DL and buy a ticket and pay partially with eCredit or to WN and purchase sub-$100 fares

Sorry noob here. There are a bunch of things in that UA comment that I don’t understand. Can you please explain further. I am in the same boat as OP with UA as the airline.
