Best redemption for AMEX points is to use them to book travel directly imo.

I know that might not be what you’re asking for given the current climate. But from hotel/airline perspectives, they see it the same as paying cash.

In other words, you earn points on the points you spend. Thus increasing their value tremendously.

Are there any decent non-travel redemptions?
