AMEX Membership Rewards 1:2.7轉成Hilton HHononrs點數（12/29/2012截止）

現在AMEX Membership Rewards（MR）點數可以1:1.35（35% bonus miles）的比例轉成Virgin Atlantic （VS）哩程，直到12/29/2012為止。
VS提供非常好的服務，但是哩程票通常會加上很高的燃油附加費。VS自身飛航的哩程票兌換標準請參考這裡。VS也有多家夥伴航空可以使用哩程票。

另外一個更划算的選擇就是把VS哩程1:2轉成Hilton HHonors點數。MR本身也可以直接1:1轉成HHonors點數，但是遠不及利用現在的1 MR=>1.35 VS=>2.7 HHonors划算。
如果你的MR點數只剩下一點點，又會用到VS或HHonors的話，也許可以考慮使用這個活動。12月還會有另外一個MR transfer bonus miles活動，我稍候會介紹。

MR=>VS很快，但是VS=>HHonors可能會要花到一週的時間。如果你很急著一週內要用HHonors點數的話就不適合。

OFFER TERMS:

The following Offer Terms are specific to the Offer above:

Please remember that you must enroll your Card to takeadvantage of this offer.  Enrollment in the offer is limited.  

1. Limit one (1) $25 statement credit per American Express Card.  To be eligible, Cardmembers must enroll an eligible American Express Card in this offer at ShopSmall.com.  Prepaid and Corporate Cards are not eligible.

2. The number of enrollments is limited.  Enrollment opens at 12:00AM MST ("Mountain Standard Time") on November 18, 2012, and will continue until 11:59PM MST on November 24, 2012 unless the enrollment limit is reached sooner.  

3. To receive the $25 statement credit, the Cardmember must use his or her enrolled Card to spend $25 or more in a single, in-store transaction at a qualifying small business location on Saturday, November 24, 2012.  To receive the credit, the transaction must equal $25 or more (for example, if your transaction is only for $15, you will not receive a credit).  Multiple transactions of less than $25 will not qualify even if the combined total of those transactions is over $25.  You may purchase multiple items that together equal $25 or more, but you must purchase them in a single transaction to receive the statement credit.

4. Qualifying small business locations are those identified on the Shop Small® Map, available at ShopSmall.com.  In addition, small business locations that accept American Express through Square also qualify and can be found on the Square Directory at https://squareup.com/directory/?cmpId=amex.  Small business locations that do not appear on the Shop Small® Map or that do not accept American Express through Square will not qualify for the $25 statement credit offer.  Please note that business location information provided on the Shop Small® Map and Square Directory may contain inaccuracies or errors, including as a result of information provided by third parties. Transactions with political campaigns or political action committees are not eligible, regardless of whether they appear on the Shop Small® Map or in the Square Directory.

5. If American Express does not receive information that identifies a transaction as having occurred in-store at a qualifying small business location, the transaction will not qualify for the statement credit.  For example, the following transactions will not be eligible for the credit:  transactions made using an electronic wallet or any other transaction made through a third party; and transactions not made directly with the merchant.

6. Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 8 weeks after American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Note that American Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase from the merchant until all of the items from your qualifying purchase have been provided or shipped by the merchant.   

7. Statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned or cancelled.

8. The Card Registration Terms and Conditions will also apply at enrollment.

購買Priority Club點數給50%額外獎勵點數（11/22/2012截止）

Priority Club （Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn, Holiday Express, Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, Hotel Indigo, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites）正在進行點數促銷活動。這活動到11/22/2012截止。

這個活動所購得的點數計入elite status。

我個人稍早使用另一個購買點數促銷活動拿到白金卡，覺得待遇還不錯，這兩年大概有八成升等房型（其中大部份是用點數換的住宿）。
如果透過topcashback.com到points.com購買這些點數，還可以拿到4% cashback。

假設你現在完全沒有Priority Club點數，透過topcashback.com到points.com購買60,000（40,000+20,000）點，得到白金卡。花費$460，拿到$18.4 cashback，這樣相當於$0.00736/point。通常可以使用10,000（$73.6）-2,5000（$184）換到Holiday Inn一晚（除了白金會員優惠之外，有些飯店還會讓你升等房型）。
如果拿來兌換每季的PointBreaks飯店，只要5,000 points的話，等於每晚只要$36.8。
你如果拿來換通常很昂貴的城市或世外桃源也划算。

儘管這不是最便宜拿到Priority Club點數的方法，但是值得考慮。

說明：如果你使用本文中我的topcashback推薦連結加入topcashback，我會得到推薦獎勵。謝謝。
