Membership Rewards points are earned on several American Express cards.
The rewards are earned for every dollar spent on the cards and then made available to be redeemed after your credit card statement closes each month.
There are several ways to redeem Membership Rewards points including using them for travel by booking through Amex Travel or transferring the points to airline and hotel partners. These are the methods that result in the highest value for your points.
You can also redeem your points for statement credits, gift cards, merchandise, Amazon, Ticketmaster, or you can donate your points. However, these redemption options may result in a lesser value.
Membership Rewards points do not expire as long as you have an active Membership Rewards-earning credit card.
