Only 7 Days Left to transfer Amex Membership Rewards Points to British Airways with a 25% bonus

There are only 7 days left to take advantage of this offer!!!

This is one of the offers I look forward to especially since the base transfer rate to British Airways is 1:1. What does this mean? Well you can redeem for my too often mentioned YYZ-NYC roundtrip flight for only 7,200 Membership Rewards points as that flight can be had for 9,000 Avios* (or as little as $3,600 in spending on the Amex Gold Rewards Card), I believe no other card can match that little of spending for that flight! See other short haul options in our post "How to get select Canada to U.S. award flights faster by utilizing British Airways' Executive Club"

You can find out more about the transfer bonus here (ends Sep 30).

Personally I still haven't transferred  points over but will be by Monday as I work out how much I want to transfer (I mean I still haven't used the Diners Club Points I transferred to Avios last year with a bonus, too much flying on AC and WS I guess!)
