What are your preferred ways to redeem points on Amex corporate card?

I'm new to this and have the Green corporate card with around 5k points.

Looking for suggestions

That’s equivalent to ~$50, need to get at least 50k points to do something meaningful

I can usually snag a decent Delta flight for 20k during off peak. That's usually where my MR points get transferred to

Very helpful

I also typically transfer my Amex points to delta as it’s 1:1 and 20k points can get you a lot if you’re flexible in where/when you travel

I used mine to buy a Home Depot gift card and then bought a refrigerator. Might not be best exchange but works if you need a refrigerator and don’t have any other good use for points.

Take it one step further to get to value: points to points to $$$

Yea I'll be closing out that card soon and will get to a max of 15k points in the next 2 months

Same as MD1. Home Depot point exchange is one of the best. Check out all of the gift card options and make sure you look at the point exchange rate. There are a few that offer better exchange rates including Banana Republic/Athleta/Gap/Old Navy, Bath & Body Works, CB2/Crate & Barrel, Coach, and many more. I end up having a ton of points at the end of the year that I use for holiday shopping.

We use ours to fund our iTunes account. Have all our streaming billed thru that. Some don’t consider that a great value (points wise) but we do.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?
