For any of you that recently left your job, what did you do with your Amex MR points? For context, don’t have a personal Amex currently.

Open a no-annual-fee MR credit card, e.g. AmEx EveryDay. Call AmEx for free expedited shipping to get card in 2 days. Transfer MR to the card and points don’t expire.

Amazon GCs have an incredibly poor redemprion value. Transfer partners will likely be your best bet - I transferred to Delta when I had a period there where I didn't have a card with MR rewards. Certainly there are other transfer partners that'll get you better value, but are significantly harder to use

I usually transferred them to my personal AMEX account, maybe see if you can transfer them to a partner? Delta maybe? I’m not sure if you can transfer corporate points out, but you can always try!

I think you have a month to do something like spend or move to another AMEX account. Check that soon

Amex points directly translate to Amazon.
Redeem them for amazon GCs.

I bought flight tickets

Get a personal Amex?

I reviewed points guy for the best airlines loyalty program. ANA was my choice. 1 for 1 point conversion and a United partner.

I had one month, and transferred them at 30 days to Delta (but there were a lot of other partner options, pick one that works best for you)

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
