Need Help
 

I am desperately trying to navigate through this points/miles new world and getting more confused and dazed by it all. Need to figure out best way to use my MR and other points to plan trip to France next summer. Is there a paid or other service or person out there who can help me?

I believe this blogger (http://boardingarea.com/blogs/viewfromthewing/) offers paid services.

Spend some time reading through his blog as well as:

Thanks. I have been reading FTG and PG etc. And getting more confused:). I will contact the points guy.

We've all been there. You might try posting what you're trying to achieve and see the advice you get from the members. Most can be pretty darn helpful.

OP did. See OP's 1st thread: ;)

What type of AMEX Card do you have. I know the Platinum Card comes with a Concierges service that may be able to help you out. You may want to give them a call if you have that card.

Post your dates and locations you want to travel to and from.
Say you want to use your MR points then let the flyertalk community take it from there.
But we need specifics if you want just one specific trip. Otherwise there is a thread called the most useful blogs that you should search for.
