I have no need to travel points of any kind since I've churned the hell out of those cards and have tons of points. The only option I'd be interested in is converting these to cash. Can it be done and if so, what's the best way? Thanks.
I'm not aware of any options except using it to pay for charges. So if you had a big tax or insurance bill you could put on the platinum, you could then pay off the bill using your points.
