The Amex MR points are the currency used to settle up with American Express; Amex settles up with AA via "real money"

I got the rewards from the "Rewards" in his comment. However, I was unaware of Amex-AA accounting rules that those tickets appear like a purchased ticket. See, already learned something today.
