I believe there is one going until 12/28. But I generally advise against speculatively transferring unless you can find award space. Be wary of a devaluation.

Giftcards to yourself. Anywhere you shop or eat out regularly, get cards. You can get amex cards too but the conversion rate is much steeper. I love gifting myself cards :)

this is just an average way to redeem MR points. not the best way. 😤
