I think you'll find most people would gladly buy your ticket for if you would transfer the equivalent AX MR at $0.01 to their FF account. Sadly Amex no longer allows it.

I know I'd buy you a $1000 ticket for 100,000 Amex points any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

This is why you're seeing these reactions in this thread. To most of us, using AX MR to purchase travel is, in fact, "wasting MR points"
