American Express Offer: Up to 5,000 points

As an American Express® Gold Rewards Cardmember, I discovered a new American Express offer in my online account today.

Until December 20, 2022, you can earn 5 Membership Rewards points per dollar on select travel purchases made through the American Express Travel website.

This includes the following prepaid travel purchases:

This does not include travel purchases such as flights, vacation packages, etc.

As part of this American Express offer, you can earn up to 5,000 bonus Membership Rewards points, or up to $1,000 in travel purchases.

For example, when paying your travel purchase with your American Express® Gold Rewards Card and this American Express offer, you could earn:

  • 2 points per dollar (Card earning rate for travel purchases)
  • 1 point per dollar (Card earning rate for prepaid hotel and car rental purchases via American Express Travel)
  • 5 bonus points per dollar (American Express offer)

That’s 8 points per dollar for this travel purchase with the American Express® Gold Rewards Card!

According to the terms of this American Express offer:

Bonus points are in addition to any points you would normally receive for purchases on your Card.

So that prepaid hotel or rental car booking could earn you up to 8,000 points by combining your American Express® Gold Rewards Card with this American Express offer.

And when you make your travel purchase with your American Express Card, you’ll benefit from travel insurance offered by the American Express® Gold Rewards Card including:

  • Car Rental Theft and Damage Insurance
  • Hotel/Motel Burglary Insurance

And all other insurance coverages offered by the Card.

This is also a good time to use your $100 annual travel credit coming with the American Express® Gold Rewards Card or your $200 annual travel credit coming with the Platinum Card® from American Express.

English/French

At the moment, the American Express Travel platform does not work in French. Switch to the English version. We have informed American Express of this problem.

Welcome offer

Earn up to 60,000 Membership Rewards points with this welcome offer for the American Express® Gold Rewards Card. That’s a $600 value for travel or any purchase on the Card.

You can also transfer your points to airline partners such as Aeroplan, Avios (British Airways / Qatar Airways), Flying Blue, and hotel partners (Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors).

For example, with this welcome offer, if you decide to transfer your Membership Rewards points to a partner loyalty program, you would have the choice of earning up to:

  • 60,000 Aeroplan points
  • 60,000 Avios points
  • 45,000 Flying Blue Miles
  • 72,000 Marriott Bonvoy points

With this Card, you get many benefits like:

You earn 2 points per dollar for travel purchases, and at:

  • gas stations
  • grocery stores
  • drugstores

And 1 point per dollar everywhere else.

Like all American Express Canada Cards, there is no minimum income requirement.
