How To Transfer AMEX Points
In order to transfer your Membership Rewards Points to partners, you'll want to make sure that you have an account with the program you're transferring your points to. You'll also need to link your Frequent Flyer or Hotel Rewards account to your Membership Rewards account.
Here's the steps:
- Go to the AMEX Frequent Travellers Partners page.
- Find the program you want to transfer your points to and click Transfer My Points.
- Log into your AMEX Account if you have not already.
- Input the amount of points you wish to transfer to the selected partners.
- Review the information and confirm the transfer request.
Transfers can take anywhere from 1 business day to 15 days so be sure to note this if you're trying to transfer points to immediately redeem them. AMEX lists the estimated transfer times on the Frequent Travellers Partners page as well as the minimum amount of points you'll need in order to transfer your points.
