    I might be just confused, but I can’t seem to see MR points -> Eurostar transfers available on my Amex acct. Searching on the website only reveals “pay with points” at Eurostar. Is this a result of the recent Club Eurostar changes? I didn’t see the removal as a partner advertised anywhere so I’m hoping I’ve just missed the page to transfer.

    I emailed HfP to see if they had any intel and Rob shared this: “For a couple of weeks there had been a warning that your transfer might fail due to ongoing IT issues so I think they’ve just decided to pull it entirely until these are fixed.”

    So it’s just a temporary issue, and they will bring it back online hopefully soon.

    I very much doubt it but Let’s hope the transfer rate improves

    Call me cynical, but just before they are about to release pricy cash tickets for the Paris Olympics period…

    A return to Paris in Standard class now begins at the equivalent of 30,000 MRs…you’d have to be mad to transfer any over in my view.

    Yep, it might be worth doing MR>Avios>Nectar>Eurostar voucher instead, 30000 MRs get £200 off if done my maths right, which might get 1.5-2x standard returns when prices aren’t high

    Thanks, I hadn’t considered Nectar->Eurostar as an option. Still only 0.67p per point though right?

    Still no available. Annoying.

    For some of the pricier Eurostar tickets (eg £249 one way), the 22500 MR points (for 1500 Eurostar points redemption) seems OK value.
