Any good AMEX MR airline transfer options left?
 
Sometimes MR points are useful to move to AF for TATL flights, but the BA deval and the fact that UR can also go to SQ (as well as 1:1 with BA amongst other) leaves me unsure why I should put any spend on AMEX or even keep my card. Any suggestions on good plays to be made with MR still? Thx.

Aeroplan has some sweet spots, and does not charge YQ for some *A airlines.

Thanks, do they still allow the "mini-RTW" itineraries?

I still say Singapore for some of the "Suite" life! Lobster Thermidor in a double bed at 40K feet never gets old!

I send my MR points to SQ for TPAC redemptions and BA for short-haul flights on JL/CX/KA.

Of course, both partner with Chase as well so that's not a compelling reason to stick with MR.

ANA can be very compelling as well, particularly for business class award flights, and only Amex and SPG transfer to them (of US issued cards).
