expired AMEX Card (3760***) Holders: Send Money Overseas and Earn 10,000 Bonus Points
This was posted 1 year 3 months 20 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
Received in email. I have not used this service but have needs for it, so I am going to take the offer.
I am a gold card holder so there is flat rate of $10. But we all know 10000 points worth much more than that.
If you are a CENTURION MEMBER or PLATINUM CHARGE CARD MEMBER then it is totally free.
as someone mentioned: American Express cards issued by a third party financial institution are not eligible.
so only cards start with 3760….
anyone familiar with their rates?

For my Amex/Qantas card I calculated about 0.74% of a discout that I get with points. Therefore 10,000 points would be worth about $74. Minus $10 (for Telegraphic Transfer) and minus $5 (difference in Amex exchange rate and IB FX brokers for USD 100) = about $59 a one can get for the hassles.
Wow this is great esp if you have an ATM of the overseas account so you can withdraw the money back.
For transferring $100:
fx fee would be around $10
atm withdrawal fee would be around $5
exchange rate variable $5
so it would be around $20 all in all.so for $100, you will get back roughly $80 plus 10,000 points
13,500 points will give you $100 BP Fuel Card.

It's worth it for the 10,000 points but cheaper options with more competitive rates there after.
