UPDATE: As reported by the Points Guy today, there are 3x more points earning opportunities than we reported yesterday.  This is due to multiple versions of the same survey being distributed for different geographic regions.  The answers are the same.  For the Japanese version, make sure you keep the English version open before filling them out.  Knock yourself out, and earn more points.  The additional links below are reported by the Points Guy.

Many people asked how we afford our trips around the world, and our recommendation is to first use your hotel and airline loyalty points, always.  But it takes a lot of points to redeem for a room or flight ticket, you asked?  Yes, it does.  And that is exactly why you plan for your trip well in advance.  This means accruing points whenever you can, and be diligent about it.

Today, I would like to introduce you to 3 separate offers where you can earn free 1500 Priority Club points just by spending 60 seconds to fill out 3 surveys.

1) 100 Priority Club Points Quiz – Ans: 15″, “All of the Above”, “Silver”

Don’t forget to take advantage of the 50% bonus when you transfer from American Express Membership Rewards (MR) points to British Airways (BA) Avios points.  The offer is good through May 31st (2 more days) only!

When considering whether to give up the precious MR points for the BA Avios points, take into consideration the following:

1) The surcharges like fuel charges on BA reward flights are notorisouly high.  So make sure you do a price comparison among other airlines on the same route, and payment vs. rewards points before proceeding.

2) Having said that, we used BA points to book LAN when we traveled in South America all the time.  No complaints on cost there!

3) If you already have an itinerary in mind that involved BA, this limited time offer may make sense for you.

To take advantage of this offer, just log into your American Express Account.  Click Rewards on top navigation bar, then Use Points, then Travel tab.  The BA offer is highlighted there.  And best of all, the transfer is almost real-time!
