Jesus. Don't transfer them to Amazon. That's one of the worst redemption values possible, up there with statement credits.

I’d say depends on what you’re looking for. I find as an United flyer its best to transfer to ANA for flights. Hotels are pretty easy to transfer to SPG.

As for any bonuses or whatnot by transferring 🤷🏻‍♂️

Transfer to air travel partners. I snagged a $12k ANA First fare from CTS (Hokkaido) -> IAH for 75k ANA points transferred in from AMEX once.

I bought an entire house worth of TVs, Sonos and other on Amex points. Right now I transfer them to amazon and use for Prime purchase. They don’t translate to much

Gift cards?

Air miles

Emirates

ana, emirates, singapore air.

My value is amazon ease. I don’t really care to spend time moving them all over the place for value. It’s free money anyway

And the winner for the most commonly asked question goes to....

85k amex points business class from jfk to tokyo on ANA. round trip.

I think Hilton points it’s usually x2

I have used them for AirBnb certs and felt it was a good value but not sure if that point amount has changed.

Transfer to gift cards is a loser’s game

I’m a 2016 grad making $120k in a small to mid-size regional firm. I’m based in Nashville. My firm’s management is trying to survey other small to mid-size regional firms to get a feel for where the comp is now, especially in light of the big law increases that are making headlines, and to see just how far below market we may have fallen. Any additional data points from smaller regional firms (especially if you have a presence in Nashville or across the SE) would be appreciated! TIA
