I have 170k Amex points. What's the bet conversion? Gift cards (5k pts = $25)? Transfer to miles or hotel pts? Or other?

Seamless. 170k points buys you 170 $10 gift cards 😂

P1, yeah. I just checked. It's about 30% more for cash conversion in Amazon. Think I may get an iPad and have some left.

Check flying blue. You can see their redemption rates. I've seen it before from mainland USA to Honolulu for 30k points (albeit economy *gasp*). It would likely be on delta, one of air France's transfer partners. To get the value on that, look up how much it would cost to buy that ticket, then divide it by 30,000 (or however many points it may be)

I think on uber it's 1point = 1 cent. Which is the best conversion that I could find. Amazon is the next best deal with a lot of options to buy things.

I also researched this question and also concluded that Uber represented the best deal. But curious if others found better deals

Not gift cards. If that's the redemption rate (5k to $25), that gets you $.005 per point. You can do better than that converting to sky miles. Which is historically one of the worst redemption rates out there.

I cashed in about 100k points for a bicycle. Pretty good deal, and I'm now actually getting some exercise 🚴👍

Still think we are going much lower here in bitcoin. Last couple of trades were stop outs. That doesn't change the trend or the fact that we are spending more time in lower ranges. My revised target is $8564 as long as this setup holds.

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days.

But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
