Redeem American Express Membership Rewards with Apple Pay
Today, American Express is expanding Membership Rewards® points redemption options for eligible Card Members with the launch of Use Pay with Points with Apple Pay.
The new feature allows Card Members to redeem points directly within Apple Pay’s easy, secure and private checkout experience online, giving them greater flexibility to use points on everyday purchases.
But the bad news is that you only get a value of 0.7 cents per point. That means that you can redeem 1,000 Membership Rewards points for $7.
If you’re still interested on how hit works, here’s how:
- Shop online or in apps on iPhone or iPad
- Select Apple Pay at checkout
- Choose an eligible American Express® Membership Rewards® Card
- Select “Use Rewards” during checkout and enter the amount to apply toward the eligible purchase. You can use points to cover all or part of your purchase.
- Redeem Membership Rewards points seamlessly by completing the Apple Pay transaction
- When a user redeems Membership Rewards points through Apple Pay, Apple does not retain any transaction information linked to the user.
