Using AmEx Membership Rewards points to buy Bose QC35

Hey there,
I am flying to London this month and I would like a pair of QC35s for the flight.
I have approx 50k American Express Membership Rewards points and want to work out how I can get the closest to getting a pair of QC35s.
The gift card selection is quite limited, only like Coles Myer, no JB Hifi or anything.

Any suggestions?
Cheers

    Very similar to this forum post.
    Both are using approx 50k points.
    Both are interested in Bose QC35.
    What are the odds.

    • Ha oh man, I completely missed that, I guess cause it doesn't have QC35 in the title.
      I'll have a peruse, thanks.

      Looks like the Velocity points are different value though?

      • Not sure. I thought your Amex Membership Reward Points were based on their American Express Velocity Escape Card.
        If your points are different, I hope someone else can help you out !

        • Not sure, but I can transfer the points at a 1:1 ratio to Velocity, maybe I could sell them then.

        • @theguyrules: I had no idea you could sell points until I read that other forum post. Do people just chuck them on ebay or something?!

        • @chriise: You can sell them through the classified here on ozbargain :)

        • @theguyrules: Are these just your standard Amex Reward points? Or some fancy airline card? I just checked, have around 100K, never took much notice of them.

        • @chriise: Yeah just Amex Reward points. There's a user on here buying them.

  • Ended up selling my points to tuvz, whose thread I linked above.
    Got more than enough for my QC35s!
    Thanks for your help guys.

  • Hi, I just found a way to use 33,333 AMEX MR points to buy QC35s. Forum post here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/277509 Sorry it's too late for you, but may help someone else.

    • No worries, nice work!
