American Express Membership Rewards Bonus Miles

[dbaker]

Turn your American Express Membership Rewards points into miles and earn a 25% bonus.

Now through March 15, 2003, you will receive a 25% mileage bonus ever time you transfer a minimum of 10,000 American Express Membership Rewards points to your OnePass account. For example, transfer 40,000 points and earn 10,000 OnePass bonus miles for a total of 50,000 bonus miles.

Keep in mind -- the more points you transfer, the more miles you earn. And there is no limit to how many Membership Rewards points you can transfer during the offer period. So transfer your points today and plan reward travel tomorrow.

Special Bonus: The first 2,500 OnePass members to register and transfer their points receive an additional 2,500 OnePass bonus miles.

I certainly miss the "Triple Miles with your Platinum Card" and "Double Miles with American Express" promotions of mid-2001 that could be combined for an incredible number of miles on any trip.

Anyone here going to take advantage of this one? I'm tempted, although I've been wanting to save my stash of MR points for an int'l reward on some non-Continental partner that I couldn't otherwise obtain.

Count me in! I also transferred all my MR points over the last time they offered this. I'm going to wait until the last minute, though, to maximize the talley.

Hrm. This is a tough call. I've got nearly 60,000 MR points sitting idle in my MR account, but I'd always figured I'd use them if I ever needed to book reward travel or upgrades on an airline I don't typically fly.

The bonus is tempting, though. Perhaps if I had a more definite plan in mind for my onepass miles...
