Hi all, I heard from some people that you need a lot of points for some of the big rewards. Does anyone know how many points you need to get a free plane ticket from NY to LA? I think you need about 25,000 points on some of the Visa /MC cards to get the free ticket.
Steve, You seem to have a lot of questions about AMEX cards and services. Have you visited their web site? It can answer virtually any question you have. Regarding your question, it depends on the airline, but it usually takes 25K points/miles to get a domestic round-trip ticket---the same if you fly from CA to AZ, or CA to NY. Travel rewards will always have higher point redemption values than retail rewards because they are more expensive to run and maintain. For full details, check out americanexpress.com/rewards. Good luck!
