I’m asking to clarify, not arguing, as I don’t use OTAs. If not, what makes AMEX have to give and charge the lowest price possible?
There is no search option for MRs - this is a regular, plain vanilla air ticket search. You can use cash, MRs, or a combination, but Amex has no idea of your intention for payment until you've confirmed the booking and entered the passenger details
