I have collected a stash of MR points because there has been no opportunity to use them. Am I missing something?
Are the quotes you're getting for using the Amex MR points as cash, or for first transferring them to an airline FFP, and then redeeming for an award ticket?

Have you checked for "SAAver" award availability on AA or AS at aa.com? British Airways is an Amex transfer partner, and BA Avios can be redeemed for award travel on both AA and AS.
