Just joined FB, sorry if this has been brought up.
Just used Amex points to buy Delta flight (didn’t transfer points to delta) and still got MQMs. Great if you’re on the verge of next medallion @ YE

Yes. Usually valued at 1cpp for redemption. However you can get better value with transfer and mileage redemption.

A $350 ticket would be 35K Amex points but could be 12.5K skymiles

yeah but you would have -12.5k skymiles when you’re trying to basically do the opposite. this is helpful for mileage runs.

How do people afford to buy $1M houses in Chicago? Surely not everyone buying them is rich (which is somewhat of a subjective term). My wife and I are 30 and have a combined income of almost $300k and trying to buy something that expensive seems asinine yet people do it. Am I missing something?
