It is nice to know there is an out if you are absolutely stuck getting a redemption anywhere else, but my key takeaway is that you should put this option in the same basket as using points to buy gift cards. This is being dangled out there in the hopes that people will bite and they can get some points off the books with the least cost to Amex. I was recently trying to find a way to use my $200 travel credit from my Platinum card. Through the Marriott site one hotel I was looking at was $347 USD. Amex Travel had it at almost $250 more. Granted there were other hotels at which I would be content to burn this credit, but it shows the importance of starting two look well ahead and making sure you check and compare all of your options before booking.
Cringe worthy😣
