New to this - just got my corporate amex green and no sure about travel situation yet though I think I'll be traveling occasionally. How much spending per year is needed to break even the $55 fee for points program?

TPG values MR points at $.02/point. The Corporate Amex Green earns 1 point/$ on everything, therefore $2,750 would be the breakeven point. More if you go with a more conservative valuation (like their best domestic travel option according to TPG’s valuations is Delta, at 1.44 cpp)

Thanks for chiming in M2. Good to know the range of valuation and potential spending needed to break even to help my decision on whether or not to enroll. I think with I can sti hit the spending for lowest valuation.

And I think next step is to do more research on the transfer partners and ways to maximize these points when I get them ;)

1-2 cents per point. You might be able to get more through transfer partners but I wouldn’t bank on it.

That's the math I did - conservative 1-cent valuation. Still made sense for me to sign up, given hotels, class dinners, etc.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
