Amex points needed is the award price converted at the listed ratio and rounded up, before any transfer bonus. Banks may transfer only in fixed increments. Taxes and fees are paid in cash. Check current transfer bonuses. Most transfers can't be reversed.
Prices are one-way per traveler: the program's points or miles plus taxes and carrier fees in USD, as AwardTool observed them in the observation window. Award space changes constantly. A seat we saw may be gone, and space we haven't seen may exist. Always confirm with a live search before transferring points; most transfers can't be reversed.
