Amex rewards points redemption ideas

I've got many Amex points (10Mil +). Looking for ways to spend them. I won't be flying anywhere, and I don't need vouchers. Looking for the best way to cash them in. I need to spend them quickly. Can you give me some ideas?

    Can't you just use them to reduce your most recent credit card expenses (ratio of 200:1)? If you don't have any, you could just buy some discounted woolworths, coles or amazon gift cards.

  • Yes, that's the ratio. It doesn't feel the best way though or very effective.

    • Redeem to an airline program and sell to one of the grey market points upgrade services? Risks problems as it is a breach of TOS, but by then you should have the money.

  • Ask Amex to use your points to pay your CC bill.

    My boss (sole trader) transferred 1 million points to Krisflyer & virgin and now he is using points to fly staff, that way he has cut down his travel bill.

  • Some good ideas so far

    Transfer to Marriott. Spend a month living in a luxury hotel or resort in your home city.

    I'll happily take some off your hands to save you the bother of spending them…
