I’m going to cancel my Amex corporate reward program. Thinking to either transfer all my points to Delta, or open up a no-fee personal Amex to park my points in. Any advice on which would be a better choice?

Not true. You can open a Amex card that has no fee, and park your points (won’t be lost). But you won’t earn points

Get the gold for the sign up bonus, and use it to park your points

There is no no fee option to park amex points, lowest is the blue or green but still a fee

Blue cash has no fee though, can you park points from corporate amex there?

How many points are we talking?

Absolutely don’t transfer to Delta. Delta has by far the most expensive award chart. ANA, BA, or Air Canada would be better (though I’m not as excited about the new Aeroplan chart). Best bet is to get a fee free Amex MR card (and they do exist, AMEX EveryDay and Blue Business)
