You can get 25% extra bonus when you transfer your AmEx MR to BA Avios before Sep 30, 2015. So, during the promotion period, you can transfer 1000 MR to 1200 Avios, which is not a bad deal. I just converted all my MR to Avios.
If you don't have AmEx MR points, you can applied AmEx Gold Rewards (FYF, 25000 welcome MR points) Card or AmEx Platinum Card ($699 annual fee, 50000 welcome MR points or 60000 welcome MR points with a referral link). If you need AmEx referral links for these 2 cards, please send me an email: canadianrewards@gmail.com. Thanks.
