I don't think you'll get any standardized answer. Quite a few folks like Hilton points but you can only redeem it once every 90 days.
Thanks for the reply, lin. I didn't realize that different people had different redemption options (embarrassing how I'm suddenly the newbie on a topic—Amtrak Guest Rewards are my forté). What determines how many redemption choices you have available? I can't seem to find any information about that on the Member Services page.
In any case, here are redemption options available to me that I'd potentially be interested in:
Air France
Blockbuster
bmi
Borders
Continental
Delta
Magazine collection
Forzieri
FTD
Hilton Honors
Levenger
Macy's
Neiman Marcus Last Call
ProFlowers
Sony
US Air
Zales
So out of those, does anyone have any advice on which give the most bang for the buck, so to speak? HHonors is tempting, although it wouldn't cover the amount of points I need to unload, so I'll need some other outlets, too...
How does a Delta redemption rank vs, say Air France (my wife has an account with them), for example?
Thanks again!
