I recently ran a series on maximizing British Airways miles and I received a ton of positive reader feedback. That made me think that I should do a series to highlight the major benefits of the main American Express cards and how to best maximize Membership Rewards points.I jotted down a rough outline. Feel free to comment below if you have any recommendations for topics I should cover.1) Overview of the key American Express Cards2) Membership Rewards Express vs. Membership Rewards vs. Membership Rewards First3) Platinum Card Perks4) Membership Rewards Transfer Bonuses: A history of past bonuses and rundown of current promotions5) Membership Rewards: Mastering Star Alliance Transfer Partners6) Membership Rewards: Mastering SkyTeam Transfer Partners7) Membership Rewards: Mastering Oneworld Transfer Partners8 ) Membership Rewards: Mastering Non-Alliance Transfer Partners9) Membership Rewards: Booking Hotel Rewards10) Spotlight on Non-Travel RewardsI’ll do as many installments as necessary, so feel free to comment below with suggestions or send me an email. I’ve been using American Express cards (and points) for years, so I hope to educate you all on the amazing value that can be realized once you understand where the opportunities lie.FYI: Below are the links to the actual posts in my Maximizing Amex Series as they ended up evolving:There are the ten posts in my Maximizing Amex series.
