I have looked on amex.com and they have some decent deals that I can book though there, flight & hotel. Looks like I can get a good chunk of change off of the total price. But I then look around and I see some lower deals on sites like expedia and kayak.com. What would be the best possible way to use these points towards a vacation?
Thank you.
great question... I was just about to apply for the Amex PRG myself but I go on all the travel deal sites and find prices 50% of what my wife's Amex can get..
what the heck is the point of the Amex Gold/Plat.. from what I can tell the rewards suck.. 1 point on most items and redeem them and you get .0125 if you are lucky.
I can get the same hotel/flight for 50% off on many other travel sites.
best of luck to you.... I guess I wont be applying for the card any time soon.
