So I've been churning credit cards for a while now, and after finishing the spend on this card got my 50,000 bonus points. I immediately started looking at the best way to put these points to use. The family and I travel a lot, so my initial thought was to use the points for a $500 gift card to Hyatt. This seemed to be the max I would be able to get out of them until I noticed that I could transfer them to the Plenti rewards program at a promo rate of 750 Plenti points for 500 MR points. So for my 75,000 Plenti points, I can redeem for $750 in free gas at Exxon/Mobil stations! Not as sexy as hotels, but I'll take the 50% bonus any day.

If you want to take advantage of this promo exchange rate, you'll need to act fast as the offer reboots to 500 PP for 500 MRP on January 1st. This card also has a $195 annual fee (waived for the first year), but I will be cancelling it before that kicks in. There is a limit of $25 per fill-up as well. Enjoy!

You didn't mention which card, but it looks like the 50k bonus is 25k now.

Sorry, thought there was only one - this is the Premier Rewards Gold card. Bummer the reward got cut in half...

Looks like the 50,000 is only if you received a targeted offer - honestly didn't remember that I had! Still a good deal, even better if you received an offer though.
