Last year or the year before there was a special deal where you could get 20% more ELAL points when converting credit card programme points.
Does anyone know if this is going to be repeated?
Cheers!

Just waiting for this promo to arrive before I dump the AMEX I got a few years ago in some LY Gold promo.

I don't use the AMEX much and don't want to pay the annual fee. I may then apply for one through my workplace which will give me some benefits which I am not getting on this one. So I want to cash in the points to LY points before canceling the card.
