AMEX points are so valuable when redeemed the right way, but first you have to acquire them! Great video!

You can acquire them by starting your own KZitem channel, convincing Gen Zeroes that they should use your affiliate links to apply for credit cards they can't afford and don't need, and then cash in! Oh wait..

Also, as a sole proprietor, you can apply for the blue business plus. You get a spending threshold a calendar year of $50,000 at 2x per dollar in MR points. You can use it to cover 1x or other categories like at Wal-Mart super centers and Target and when you exhaust the EveryDay card grocery cap too, you can use that card to cover groceries if you can't justify the Gold card for the rest of the calendar year. I do this. Also, if you live in a major city, you can get the Green card to cover tolls, taxis and when on vacation like on a cruise at 3x and for dining if again you can't justify Gold like me.

Are Amex pts generally good for international only? Since it's mostly flights, I don't see economy being a good use and I'm sitting on like 700k. I need to burn them somehow!
@jacksonmiller8581

The best use is to transfer them. Even domestic economy you can get really good redemptions. Also no need to burn them. They don't tend to go down in value too much.

Hey Ben, please talk about Apple Pay using the Amex in restaurant. I was told by a Amex Rep that I did get my restaurant points using my gold business amex because it showed on my statement has “Apple Pay” and they/Amex can’t tell if it was a restaurant. Just because I didn’t have the restaurant physically run my car I was denied points?

Are different Amex cards targeted for different Amex offers? I have the Amex Hilton surpass and I haven’t ever seen these Amex offers for mgm or similar properties. Are they targeted for specific cards or how does that work?

yes, different cards, and also different members get different offers too, it is sometimes luck of the draw what you get, but if you activate all your offers, your chance of getting good ones added after that increases
