I'd probably use them on one of the airlines. Don't transfer them to SPG because the conversion ratio is awful. Same goes for JetBlue. But if you transfer them to delta/British air you should be able to get a ton of good value out of them

You should be getting at $1,100 out of them. Market value if you sold them to a points broker is usually around 1.35 cents per point, but I've seen transfer rewards with VX up to 2.25

Usually $100 per 10k points if you get giftcards

You should be able to get $1,500 out of them or so if you transfer them to other programs

Hey zs which programs to transfer them to ? Any suggestions ?

Thanks zs 😬

I would guess around $800. Gift cards have the best value. Don't use on 'paying with points'

What's vx?

I just bought an iPad Pro 9.7in with 107k points. Value on Amazon was $734

A1 you got screwed!

This is exactly why the banks still offer points haha. Nobody knows how to use them

@A1 - you should have converted it to 1k or so worth of Best Buy gift card and bought the iPad. Could have saved money/points
