100,000 MEMBERSHIP REWARDS POINTS
Like [other members of the team]( I'm a big fan of [Amex's Membership Rewards program](. Cardmembers can access [1:1 transfers]( to a handful of top programs, including [Air Canada Aeroplan]( [Asia Miles]( and [Etihad Guest]( and certain customers are also eligible for a [35% rebate]( when booking paid flights with points.
Better yet, Amex is currently offering targeted welcome bonuses of [up to 100,000 points]( (subject to change at anytime), via [TPG's CardMatch tool]( netting you a bonus worth up to $2,000, based on [TPG's valuations](. Learn more, with:
- [Earn up to 100,000 points with Amex's latest targeted offers](
- [Pull up your own targeted offers with TPG's CardMatch tool](

As for [what you can do]( with Amex points? The options are virtually endless, but at the top of my list is a flight in [Singapore's new A380 first-class suite]( pictured above, available via a [quick transfer to KrisFlyer](.
