I'll pay the 12 dollars for an uber ride. Those Amex points are saved for international business class flights.

Well I can use my hotel/airline/credit card points for personal travel, so it doesn't bother me much. More importantly, by using Uber rather than a personal car I can only drive 3 days a week, I'm saving on the car payment and insurance. So really, it's a hell of a lot more value than of my other points

Amex points to airline miles is usually the best option value vise, but of course, they are worth as much as you think they are worth

@D1 what's a better alternative? I've never gotten much more than 1c out of them...

I sold my car in December for this reason. I cried. But it made so much sense financially.
