Ah, but the US$2 = £1 so you still get the same points per $ equivalent of spend!
The UK Priority Club card is a joke, though. Spend £40,000 and get 1 night at an IC ......!!!!
However, as Amex freely admits, the vast majority of transfers from Membership Rewards are to top-up an existing account, not to redeem in full for an award. For this it works great.
