The Best Way to Redeem AMEX Points

American Express offers a loyalty program known as Membership Rewards. The program allows customers to earn points for each dollar spent on credit card purchases. The number of points earned varies with the type of card. Membership Rewards points can be exchanged for points in several other programs, such as airmiles and guest programs. The points can also be used for dining out and for purchasing electronics and vacations. The best value-for-money exchange opportunities can be found listed as "specials" on the American Express website. Discounted items are offered, allowing customers to obtain items for less points than normally required.
