The Amex Membership Rewards program is one of my favorite transferable points currencies. Membership Rewards has more transfer partners than Chase Ultimate Rewards and Citi ThankYou, and I’m always happy to see that list expanded.

Completely unrelated, but can you do a day of blogging taking one post from every writer? Like Matt, who hasn’t written since 2015. I’d like to see a post from each of them
You can earn UA miles into Avios via Aer Lingus, can you redeem UA flights using Avios?
I'm Aer Lingus Aer Club Concierge, but I don't think I have used my miles once for a single Aer Lingus redemption. I always seem transfer them to my BA account for Oneworld (Recently JL and CX) awards. This is one benefit of the "new" AerClub program vs the old Gold Circle program. With Gold Circle, all awards had to be booked via phone...
Speaking of "sweet spot partner redemptions", is there some reference that lists all sweet spots? I'd be very interested in such an article/guide.
I seem to remember a while back there was an issue where Aer Lingus were releasing different (more) award inventory to their own AerClub members than was available to those looking for award seats using Avios. BA phone reps would see inventory available but booking would fail when trying to ticket it. Is that still the case and if so, would transferring MR points directly to Aer Lingus offer a wider inventory of available award seats?
The problem is that if all the sweet spots become known to everybody, then they will no longer be sweet spots as they will quickly disappear.
Launching two new NA routes soon, to be flown by A321, rumours of Pittsburgh and Montreal
