Planning ahead for a dive trip
Hi Folks,
I am fairly new to AMEX and just starting to get my hands around the membership points. I want to plan ahead for a vacation to the Carribean to go diving. I currently have 17,000 Points with 7,000 additional pending. I would say that my average is 4500 points per month.
My biggest questions is how many points will I need for a 7 day vacation and where do I start to figure this out? I am also a member with Marriott, JetBlue, Southwest, and a few others.
Do I find the vacation via the amex site? Everything I am reading says no.
Do I price it out via the airline website then calculate the points and transfer the points when I am ready?
What do you feel is the best approach?
Note that I have not picked a destination just yet.
