How Do I Earn American Express Points?

You earn American Express points by making purchases through AmEx credit cards. The amount of points you earn depends on your American Express card type.

Generally, you will get one point for every Euro/Dollar you spend. Some cards give you more points for spending at particular locations or the number of purchases made on that card within a particular billing period.

Here is a breakdown of the relationship between different cards and the Amex Membership Rewards system:

• The Platinum Card® from American Express earns 100,000 on every $6,000 spent.
• American Express® Gold Card points on every $4,000.
• The Business Platinum Card® from American Express is 120,000 for every $15,000.
