Leaving the firm soon and have 150k amex points - should I open a personal Amex and transfer? If so, which one? Don’t live by a C Lounge airport and already have a CSR so don’t want Platinum card

They’re worth at least $1,500 if used properly so if you don’t want to redeem them now, opening a personal card that participates in Membership Rewards is probably the best bet.

Do something! AMEX will delete your points when your card is cancelled if you don’t have another open. That’s a rountrip on ANA or LH first class (value > $15k)

Amex Everyday will do the trick. No annual fee

Sell them

Yeah open a personal AMEX, even the free one lets your MR account stay active and all set (aka you won’t then lose all your existing points)

Or just transfer to miles now. There’s always a bonus going with one of the carriers

Like D2 and D3 said, I opened an Amex everyday to keep the points. Should even have the same airline partners to transfer to

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
