Transfer AMEX to QF (Directly or Indirectly)

[William Chau]

Hi all,

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I have Amex MR points under the Ascent scheme. Due to the recent cutbacks in rewards points on AMEX cards, I am thinking of consolidating my points in my QFF account.

I believe that there is no direct way to do this (i.e. direct transfer from AMEX to QFF).

I believe the two indirect ways are:
1. AMEX -> Priority Club (10:6) -> QFF (10:2) - Equivalent AMEX MR:QFF ratio of 100:12
2. AMEX -> Hilton HHonors (1:1) ->QFF (10:1) - Equivalent AMEX MR:QFF ratio of 10:1 or 100:10 (for comparison purposes).

I guess the other option is not to bother and use my points to redeem for flights via webjet, etc.

Is any one aware of any other way to get points into QFF?
I'm having trouble valuing the third option (i.e. direct redemption for flights)... can anyone who is smarter than me work this out?

Thanks.

Move the Amex Ascent points to Virgin (1:1), or Singapore or any of the other Ascent partners
- the double transfer is costing you lots.
Sign up for a direct earn Qantas card if you want Qantas points, or an Amex Plat Charge, Maximiser

Hi Moa999,

Yes I gathered that was the case - but this doesnt really answer my questions.
