The 3 best options for spending your American Express reward points
1. Convert American Express Reward points into Airline Miles
This is probably the best option you have, convert your points into Airline Miles.
After you’ve changed your points into miles, you can book tickets in any class you want, or upgrade to a higher class. Just make sure you have enough miles.
These are the possibilities to convert your points to miles with airline partners, as shown in this list:
2. Convert American Express Reward points into Hotel points
You can transfer your American Express points to Hotel chains like Hilton or Marriott, and use these points to get free stays.
3. Convert American Express Reward points into shopping vouchers
Another possibility is to use your reward points for shopping vouchers and buy products via the American Express website. This is usually not a good value compared to transferring the points to airline miles or even hotel points.
How much does the Amex card cost?
- Amex Platinum: 65€ a month.
- Amex Gold: 20€ a month.
It is possible to cancel the card at any time, but your bonus points might be waived if you cancel within the first year.
