Hi folks,
I have 150,000 points in FF, and 350,000 in Amex. I want to take self and family (wife plus 2 kids) to USA and back, or perhaps round world. With QFF, RTW is 130,000 - thus 4 people = 520,000 points. I'll have enough for this soon enough. BUT - somewhere I thought I heard that if I transfer the Amex points to another program (AA?) I can go further (or use less points) than Qantas. The objectives of the RTW trip are to get to Denver in USA, and London with perhaps a European stopever / side trip.
Any suggestions, or should I just dump all the Amex points into my FF account? I'm FF Gold. If I can do the itinerary for less, I'd then be able to use some Amex points for Hilton and perhaps save some dollars on the accommodation front too. Maybe just dreaming...
Thanks.
Gary
