Through Nov 15, 2018 you’ll get 1,400 Avios for every 1,000 Amex points you transfer to British Airways or Iberia.

The best uses for BA Avios are shorthaul Oneworld flights (on AA domestically or in Europe on BA or Australia on Qantas).

The best use for Iberia Avios are from the eastern part of the US to Madrid in Business Class for 34,000 each way.

The downside is that I find Amex points much harder to earn than Chase points, which transfer 1:1 to Avios. Still, 40% is pretty sweet.

 

I got "in the game" in 2003 and since then I've collected literally millions and millions of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. I've flown around the world in first class seats that would cost $29,000 using frequent flyer miles and a few bucks in tax. And I've stayed in some of the finest hotels - all for free! A few years ago I realized many of my friends actually thought I was paying for these!! So I started sharing my tips. It's long been a passion, but when I hosted a session on Miles and Points at the South by Southwest festival, my love of the game intensified and this blog was born.
