Why does Amex charge you to transfer points?
Why does Amex charge you to transfer points? For each conversion of points into the Frequent Flyer program of a U.S. airline, a fee of $0.0006 per point, with a maximum fee of $99, will be charged to your Card account.

What is the most worth it to use Amex points on?
