Should You Transfer Amex Points To British Airways With 40% Bonus?

As I first wrote about in mid-December, the US American Express Membership Rewards program is offering a 40% bonus on transfers to British Airways Executive Club through January 31, 2015.

Since this promotion expires in a few days, I had actually written a post last night about whether I thought it made sense to speculatively transfer points, which I originally scheduled for this morning.

Of course that all kind of changed this morning when British Airways Executive Club announced a pretty substantial award chart devaluation for bookings made as of April 28, 2015.

My Mom And Me Are Presently On A Flight To…!

Let me start by saying that the purpose of this trip isn't necessarily to write a great review. In other words, I'm not taking my mom to the Park Hyatt Jeddah on Saudia, and connecting on Kuwait Airways to Bandar Seri Begawan, so I can take the Royal Brunei 787.

Instead, the goal of this trip is to make my mom smile.

For some quick background, I was actually supposed to fly to Australia via Europe and the Middle East today, and was going to spend three weeks in Australia.

Then last week I started having second thoughts about the trip, as I was a bit burned out with travel after an absolutely crazy flying schedule for a couple of months. And I was enjoying spending time with my parents, and didn't want to leave them for a long time.
