Why transfer points? When not using a AMEX partner airline what I do is call (Must call) AMEX travel and say for ex I want to book an AA flight to ? using points. If the cost of the ticket (slightly higher than booking through airline on line) is $600.00 then 60,000 points are needed for free ticket $700.00 70,000 points and so on. The beauty of this is I still receive metal miles on the airline that I'm flying and the ticket was free using AMEX points.
