I see you're from Canada? Not sure what all your Amex options are up there, but if I recall correctly your transfer rate to SPG is 2:1. If so, that would be a pretty solid option that's easy to redeem.
In the US, my opinion is the two best "easy" ways to get decent value is to transfer to Delta or get gift cards. You can also try to maximize your value by transferring to some of the international airline partners - always found this to be too much of a pain tho when trying to find flights
Not sure how much of the above will be relevant for you in Canada but hope that helps!

Good advice!! Thank you!!

You can also save and book flights directly thru AMEX. You’ll get segment/mile credits for your flight (which you would not if you transfer the miles directly to the airline)

Ah I just quit and need to get my amex points out before they cancel my card. But no personal flights needed in the near future 😞

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
