American Express Membership Rewards - Challenge: American Express Rewards RTW First Class for 500k pts

I've been able to save 500k points on American Express Rewards and my goal is to fly First Class RTW for 2 (wife and I). Should have 600k by end-of-year. Any tips/advice?

Yea, dump them in an SQ account, and for I believe for something like 480k you get 2x RTW in F.

Welcome to FlyerTalk!

The AF F reward is 560K points for 2, IIRC, as another option. The *A is probably a better choice as they have more carriers with a true F cabin than SkyTeam does, but both can be done with MR points.

Yo will find a TON of info in the ONEWORLD, SKYTEAM, and STAR ALLIANCE threads on RTW's.

SQ *A RTW F = 360K = not possible

AF i would not suggest because only AF and KE have F...

NH = winner IMHO for 300K (*A RTW F) you get >
up to 34,000 miles
up to 8 stopovers (up to 3 in Europe)
[230K gets you up to 25,000 miles]

Thanks for the feedback, getting used to the acronyms, NH = ? and IIRC = ?
