American Express has added a new redemption option, you can now redeem Membership Rewards points via Apple Pay check out ‘Pay With Points’. Unfortunately you only receive 0.7¢ per point ($7 per 1,000 points) making this useless. One can hope that at some stage they will offer some sort of promotion for using this redemption option but in the past they haven’t with similar offerings apart from Amazon.
Most people will get better value from transferring points to American Express travel transfer partners.
