PSA: AMEX gift card redemption to Saks is currently at a 20% discount. So $100 gift card is only 8,000 points instead of 10,000! Only until 12/23, then will go back to usual 1 cpp redemption!

not relative to airline transfers if you find a good value, but pretty solid otherwise. this is probably the 2nd best use of amex points.

Don’t forget to combo with the Amex platinum credit and Rakuten

Thanks! Good call out by PwC1 - got another 12% CB on top of the discounted GC rate. Got a stroller 😂

Nice! Kid is gonna be rolling around in style.
