I had a lot of trouble finding the Amex MR transfer rates. I think I just assumed they were all 1:1 because I couldn't find anything on the website that said what the actual rates are.
Could you point me to an online chart? I can find online information about WHICH programs you can transfer to, but not the rate.
I don't have an Amex MR card.
Edited to say: the entries in red represent transfers that I know are available, but I wasn't able to confirm the rate through either company's website.

I think I just read on another thread that there's a 25% bonus for transferring Amex MR points to Continental right now. Don't know if you want to mess with altering your matrix for every promo that comes along, but it IS good to know, in case one wants to transfer to Continental and THEN on into Hilton, for instance. Just a thot.

[QUOTE]Love the chart,[b]tw0i! One more suggestion: add Hawaiian Miles. I recently used them to launder some Amex points and transfer into HHonors points. Amex-->Hawaiian at 1:1, Hawaiian-->HHonors at 1:2.

I'd love to send it to you, but unfortunately, I lost my hard-drive earlier this year. I had it pretty darned complete, but haven't had the energy to re-do it.

I had a fairly complete table compiled (in excel), but unfortunately lost it when my harddrive crashed last year. I just haven't had the heart (energy) to re-do it.

Have you looked at webflyer.com or frequentflier.com? There is good information about conversions

I started one myself, for all the accounts in which I have points (airline, credit card, hotel, etc) but ran out of steam before I finished. If a complete grid already exists, I didn't want to redouble the effort - God forbid I should waste any time obsessing over travel programs!!
