Best way to convert 500k points into a holiday?

[gdaypikachu]

Hi everyone,

So I have accumulated around 500k Amex points on my Platinum Business card, and I am looking to see what is the best way to convert that into a holiday next year, prefer somewhere in Europe. I am not too fussed about business class (I know that gets you the best bang for buck points wise), but more than happy with Economy, if I can get some more flights out of it

Thanks so much in advance for any tips or pointing me in the right direction

170k Amex = 85k QR Avios which gets either a RT to IST in Y or one way in J (might be a bit more for other Europe).

Just bear in mind, at best your getting 1c per point using the points for international economy flights, as you still have to pay taxes on a lot of redemptions.
Usually you can get a sale economy fare for cash which is much better value

Depends on how much you value your points and how much you spent to get them.
