Best mileage/points conversion site?

I am curious as to trying to find out a website that *alerts* you to
conversions. I have plenty of cc pts (amex/saphire/marriott) but always want to try 'n convert them to airline miles @ optimum point...does anyone know of
such a site? Thx in advance

Not the best one, I'll say. Just read through the master thread for Points.com and decide for yourself.

Instead, take a look at Webflyer Mileage Converter and see any possible conversion is worthwhile.

Just keep in mind converting them into airline miles may not give you the best or optimal value. If you need to learn about what's the best or better use of your points in amex/saphire/marriott, you should visit their respective fora on FT and see how people put them into good use:

American Express Membership Rewards (Not sure MR is the Amex pts you have though)

Chase Ultimate Rewards

Marriott Rewards

Thanks. Also, Webflyer is outdated right? I think I remember seeing they still have MR to Hilton as 1:2, but it's really been 1:1.5 for awhile now.

It appears the OP is looking for a site which notifies subscribers when there is a conversion bonus, not for a list of conversions, nor for a site which processes them.

Read the blogs. When there are not new CC offers to push they are looking for subject matter to post. They will then tell you about the conversion promotion (plus inform you of the card that can get you more miles to convert).
