I have the platinum AMEX coming up for renewal next month. I'm not going to renew, but have a bunch of points. Looking for ideas from folks on the best way to use them. Point redemption seems pretty poor. I'm used to chase points which is 100 pts = $1. I figure someone on here has figured out how to stretch them as far as possible. No big trips planned (have a lot going on in the next year, so probably not looking to add more). I have about 180k points. I'll even take good travel partners if there are any.
