Membership Rewards is the flexible currency offered through American Express. These points can be earned through eligible spending on Membership Rewards credit cards. Points can then be redeemed for statement credits, gift cards, flights, hotels, etc. through Amex Travel and more.
If you really want to maximize your Membership Rewards points, transferring them to one of Amex’s travel partners will almost certainly give you the best value. However, Amex has over 20 transfer partners, so knowing which airline to transfer your points to for the greatest return can be overwhelming. This is where Point.me comes in.
Point.me for Membership Rewards points is a tool to help simplify the search for award flight costs. Rather than digging through each partner’s award charts, Point.me will do the leg work for you. This is a full co-branded solution designed specifically for Amex cardholders to search for Membership Rewards transfer partners. So while you won’t have access to premium features like Point.me’s Explorer function or other member benefits, you will get unlimited Membership Rewards-based searches.
