What are Membership Rewards points^®

In this site we have told in every way how to maximize the collection of Membership Rewards points: from the Introduce a Friend program, to American Express welcome offers, and, of course, how to focus all daily spending on the Card to maximize the accumulation of Membership Rewards points.

These points can be used, for example, to claim Shop with Points discounts in account statements by converting, according to the conversion, 1,000 Membership Rewards points into 4 euros. Alternatively, they can be converted into points from airlines or hotel chains to treat themselves to a flight or stay by reducing and sometimes zeroing out the cost.

Ever since I came into this world For me it has become a real passion, which has allowed me to fly anywhere and stay in many hotels while receiving VIP treatment, despite being a humble serial accumulator of points and miles. So many readers have followed my advice and taken great satisfaction from it.

How to receive 250,000 Membership Rewards points^®

TFC readers can receive a bonus of 250,000 Membership Rewards points By applying for the American Express Platinum Card directly from the page . To receive the welcome bonus, all you need to do is spend 6,000 with American Express Platinum Card within 3 months of issuance.

And as the summer season arrives and the next trip is planned, it will be very easy to quickly reach this spending threshold.

The reward will be truly beneficial: 250,000 points can be easily used, for example, for a week-long stay if several people are traveling or, if you decide to travel alone, on a dream ticket around the world.

There are so many ways to use them, but as any practitioner of the reward travel game knows, the best thing is to accomplish your goal, no matter what it is.

Three ways to use the bonus (and the American Express Card) around the world

I have thought of three different uses: whether you are traveling alone, as a couple, or in a group. Three simple examples to make it clear how you can, depending on the type of user, use the points and get the most out of this Card.

First of all, it is important to keep in mind all the benefits included in the Charter and designed for travelers

• Join the loyalty programs of American Express Partner hotel chains and car rental companies to get lots of perks and benefits when you travel
• Apply for the Supplementary Card to maximize benefits as a couple
• Enroll in the Priority Pass program^TM And have access to over a thousand lounges around the world
• Travel peacefully with travel insurance

Are you traveling alone? The choice is yours

If you are alone and do not have to share points with anyone, it is obvious that you have plenty of choice and plenty of opportunities. You can use all the points and, for example, treat yourself to a unique travel experience by flying business class.

My advice, though, is to enjoy them a little bit at a time, such as benefiting from the different airlines' promos, buying tickets by transferring Membership Rewards points to one of American Express' many Partner loyalty programs.

In pairs

Traveling alone is great, but sharing these experiences is even more so. By applying for both American Express Platinum Cards you will find yourself. after a few months with 500,000 Membership Rewards points in his pocket.

There are so many possibilities. After transferring points from Membership Rewards to one of the many loyalty programs of American Express' partner hotel chains, you can stay around the world-Marika and I have stayed in the Maldives, Bali, and dozens of other places thanks to the points.

Of course, flight opportunities are the same as those mentioned above, such as. use Membership Rewards points, to redeem a round-trip ticket to the United States in business class.

A few months ago I stayed at a resort in Ubud, a place that to call heaven on earth is trite and which I had the opportunity to visit thanks to the points that gave me a real dream.

Group travel

If you are traveling with more than one person, it can be a good solution to convert points toward hotel chain loyalty programs and use the points to stay at facilities around the world.

For example, it is possible to sleep in Bali with less than 20,000 points per night. This means that you can spend as many as 10 days without paying for your stay and enjoy benefits such as the fifth night free and all the other exclusive benefits included in the statuses of the different hotel chains, which American Express Platinum Cardholders can access.

In conclusion

There are users who are skeptical about the usefulness of the points, but not a day goes by without a testimonial from a reader on TFC's social media who, following our advice, and with the right strategy, shows how he or she was able to achieve his or her goal around the world.
