These points will take me to the next level of redemption, and I am planning to use them before I close the card before the annual fee hits.
I have a card with no annual fee and my daughter had two cards with annual fees (waived for the first year). I was able to transfer all her points to my flex account and then I closed her cards before the fees hit. While doing this I saw an offer for a new card where the new cardholder gets 10,000 flexpoints after spending $500 and the referrer gets 5,000, so I referred my husband. Once this is done and I transfer his points to my account I'll have 75,000 flexpoints, potentially enough for a $1,499 air ticket (more or less - actually have to earn another 5K points and get a $1,599 ticket). All for little work except buying a bunch of coins to meet spend requirements for bonuses. Any making a bunch of phone calls about why points weren't showing up, etc. Overall not a bad deal though.
