Anyone have the number handy of how much you need to spend a year on corporate AMEX for membership rewards to be worth it?

95 dollars for the fee. Amazon redemption is currently $.007 per point. That means your breakeven point is $13k in the year. Depending on how you redeem, you can get values up to $.02 which would be $5k.

Not much, I thought I heard like 5-7k

You can usually redeem 10000 points for a $100 gift card (varies by vendor). So if your annual fee is $75 your approximate break even point is $7,500 as you earn one point per dollar spent.

I do a straight 1 cent valuation on MR. So 9500

Sounds like Amex is pricing rewards differently for folks because I just showed a staff how to sign up and it was 80

I just transfer my Miles to delta or SPG

100 million dollars
