I can get $200 of dining GC with 20,000 MR points.
BW hotel I am looking at is around $165 value. So I'd spend my Amex MR on BW transfer.
Yes, 1:1 MR:BW is not a great deal. Since I do have a Diners Club card, where it's 1250:3300 (1:2.64), that would be a far better deal (assuming you earn your points through spend, not signup bonuses). In fact, the Diners Club card earns BW points faster on non-BW spend faster than any other card, including BW's own credit cards! But like I said, you couldn't even apply for a Diners Club card today if you wanted to, their application windows are few and far between
! And even when they had applications, Diners Club didn't have any signup bonuses in recent times.
