Can you transfer them to a Membership Rewards earning personal card?

smartlike

I would have to open a personal Amex and I decided to switch to capital one venture.
Amex lounges are too crowded and customer service sucks.

Open a BBP and transfer the points there.

If I absolutely had to transfer them to a partner, it just depends on your future plans. Hawaiian could be interesting given that the points will convert to Alaska miles, which are very valuable. Aeroplan is fine too. But I wouldn't speculatively transfer, just open a card.

Definitely not a hotel. The value is pretty bad.

What is BBP?

I’m really kind of done with Amex (after 25 years). I have an issue with the company.

Open a free Amex cards with membership rewards (doesn’t have to be business) and transfer points. Gives you time to figure things out
