One of the easiest and sure shot way of getting good value from your Amex Membership reward points is to use them for paying travel on AmexTravel.com . Normally, you would get about 1c value for each Membership reward point when you use them to pay for travel at AmexTravel.com. But if you have a Business Platinum card in your folio, you can benefit from a little-known feature to get even more value for your points. Amex 35% Airline Bonus. Images courtesy Amex. The feature is called '35% Airline Bonus,' through which get 35% of your used points back and using it you can get 1.53 cent value per point. That is even better than the Chase Sapphire Reserve pay with points feature and can be better than transferring points to an airline to book the flight as an award on many occasions.

New Alaska Airlines Premium Card on the horizon (Register now for higher bonus)

Image
As part of Alaska Airlines' merger with Hawaiian Airlines, it has made some more announcements for its upcoming plans. It includes making Seattle an international hub with routes to Tokyo and Seoul in 2025, more lounges along the west coast and Hawaii, and a new Premium Credit Card offering. We will get the full list of benefits closer to the launch but so far, they are promising 3x miles on all dining and foreign purchases, waived award ticket fees, Alaska Lounge access and new Global Companion Award Certificates, and more. The 3x earning on all foreign purchases could make it an exciting choice when traveling abroad, and the global companion award certificates could be very lucrative as well if done right. Depending on these features, the card could well be in the range of $300-$500 in annual fees.
