Understanding how you’ll now earn points


As a result of awarding points in more places, and the increasing cost of rewards, we’ve had to make some changes to the Membership Rewards program. Your earn structure has changed from 1 Membership Rewards point per $1 spent to the new points earning structure as outlined below.


Your new points earn structure

You will earn 1 Membership Rewards point for every $1 you spend on purchases – excluding utilities, insurance (with the exception of insurances offered by American Express), telecommunications providers and government bodies in Australia, where you will earn 0.5 points for every $1 spent. This means you will earn 0.5 points for every dollar you spend in Australia at merchants classified as:

  • “utilities” which are gas, water and electricity providers
  • “insurance” (excluding insurances offered by American Express)
  • “government bodies” including the Australian Taxation Office, Australia Post, federal/state and local government bodies.

    • Rest assured, your existing points balance will not change, and your points never expire1. Additionally, the number of points required to redeem rewards remains the same.


    More ways to use points


    American Express Membership Rewards offers outstanding value, flexibility and variety when it comes to redeeming points. And now we have added more options for you to choose from:
