FIL reported doing this successfully about 2 weeks ago.Has anyone been successful in transferring their MR points to Ascent points recently?
I'm planning on getting a platinum edge card soon, using it for a month or so then trying to get all my MR points transferred to Ascent points.
doubling of ascent premium once linked was offered?Linking is still being done for anyone with Plat Edge or Charge. We just had MrsMac’s Explorer linked to Plat Charge, done by OS call centre on the first call. Last time we linked it took around 4 calls. Points haven’t appeared yet but operator said they will be there in 1-2 days. Now to run the balance up in the next 8 weeks

Does anyone think there’s a chance this card or other Amex reward cards could see new customer point bonus increases as part of the amexpoint devaluation to entice new customers? Considering applying but thinking of waiting and seeing what happens after the points deval.
I think the bank comparison is one of the drivers of the redemption rate change (rather than just halving the earn)I agree, unlikely. Apply now to get the current system but will need to transfer them out by 14 April. Will put Amex on parity with the Banks. Ie 100k bank points are significantly less than 100K FF points but looks more ‘impressive’.
My thoughts exactly. i wanted to apply but i dont want to be forced to move them to either KF or Velocity straight away as i prefer the flexibility.
How long do you think it would take once hitting the spend requirement to get the 100k points to ensure there's time to transfer before the deval?
Rang weekday evening at 8pm. No problems to link accounts. Points arrived lunchtime next day - All done on the 1st callHas anyone been successful in transferring their MR points to Ascent points recently?
