Better to burn them stateside on UA than lose them entirely.
I live in the Inter-mountain West and am thinking about transferring my last 60K Amex MR pts to SQ. I mostly fly UA (a little AA) and could use those 60K miles for a r/t to Hawaii for a Bus/First Saver award (UA charges 80K). Does this idea make sense? There are no other Amex MR partners I want to transfer to.
