Depends upon what type of item you want to buy - with something like housewares there are many times I would be much better served to transfer to SkyTeam USA, redeem for a gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond (as an elite with an AmEx), and then simply purchase the item outright with the gift card and a 20% off coupon.
