The guaranteed redemption is1.0 cent / point for gift cards / Amazon; however, TPG has them valued at 1.9 if you use them for travel / transfers. Based on that the conservative #, your breakeven point would be spending more than $9000.

@EY3 - gee, thanks. Just wanted to let OP know it was an option. I don't buy a ton on Amazon, but it's nice to be able to get little things for free. Don't see why that makes me a moron.

Wait until you become a "frequent traveler" (i.e.: on the road 100+ days). You get bumped to platinum Amex and the reward program is automatically included. Once you have that, you can hook your Amex to Amazon and use the points to pay for purchases.

How much value do you place on Membership Rewards points, and what's your expectation on annual spend? I think this is a pretty individual calculation.

Amazon conversion is the worst. Even BR gift cards are better.

Yes do it. Start building points now.

I did it, worth it. $1200-$1500 in expenses a week adds up

As nice as this sounds I feel like It’s BS.
