Also, since I have a Centurion invitation on my IDC now, I'm wondering if I should take it and then try to get it transferred. I doubt I would get a Centurion invitation too quickly on a new account.

I don't generally have an exchange rate problem because I primarily use the Int'l dollar card for dollar purchases only (except when paying for my air ticket).

I have both VISA and MC with U.S. banks (dollar-based) as backups, just prefer to us the AmEx whenever it's accepted because of MR.

I have heard rumors from some of my colleagues who have relocated from the UK back to the US that they have been able to repatriate UK Amex MR points to the US MR program when closing out all UK issued Amex products. I have not confirmed this, but it might be worth asking Amex if this is in fact possible.
