There's always going to be some risks involved and you have to decide....do I want to put it on red or black?

Having said that, I would transfer the Amex points to CX. The rate isn't great but at least you'd have a better chance of it clearing.

With AA, if you wait last minute, your chances should be ok. Now, do you want to take that risk?
