Earning American Express Membership Rewards

- 1 Membership Rewards point for every dollar spent on all other eligible purchases.
Redeeming American Express Membership Rewards
American Express Membership Rewards points are a flexible and transferable points currency. The best use for them is to transfer them to an airline or hotel loyalty program partner for your next flight or hotel redemption if you want to maximize their value while saving on travel.
Membership Rewards frequent flyer and hotel loyalty program transfer partners include:
- Air Canada Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio
- British Airways Avios at a 1:1 ratio
- Cathay Pacific Asia Miles at a 1:0.75 ratio
- Air France/KLM Flying Blue at a 1:0.75 ratio
- Delta SkyMiles at a 1:0.75 ratio
- Etihad Guest at a 1:0.75 ratio
- Hilton Honors at a 1:1 ratio
- Marriott Bonvoy at a 1:1.2 ratio
Learn more about Membership Rewards transfer partners with our Ultimate Guide to American Express Canada Transfer Partners.
Membership Rewards can also be redeemed toward travel purchases at a rate of 1 cent per point, plus they can be used for gift cards and merchandise. It is highly recommended to not use your points for these redemption options, as you will receive much higher value from transferring to a frequent flyer or hotel loyalty program.
