So I have this old AX Optima Plat from year 2000 (Cannot close since its my oldest card). In my rewards infancy, I used to put real $ spend on this and convert them to Home Depot cards. Yeah... I know..
Now it seems like I cannot convert them to lets say BA avios. I was told these points, even though they are listed as MR, my Optima card is not allowed to convert points. I have not observed this, but I got the latest batch of 50K points when I have a AX Rewards Gold that I cancelled. I am told that if I add one of the premium cards in my portfolio again, these points are transferable to other partners. Does anyone know if the the AX Everyday Preferred (if I apply in the next AOR) show me the transfer options online.
As a separate but similar issue, I am unable to transfer my TYP to United. GEtting message 'You are not eligible for this Points Transfer program.' Does this mean I need to have a "premier" card in my portfolio?
I would like the suggestions to be cards that are worth keeping even with the AF. In case of AX, I want to know if I switch my old optima ax plat to a AF Platinum (I know this one has huge fees), would it nullify my long history with AX?
Thanks in advance.
