If you have an Amex card that earns Membership Rewards points, you will earn them for everyday spending, just as you would earn airline miles with an airline-branded card or hotel points with a hotel-branded card.
Membership Rewards points are the points currency of American Express. Let's take a closer look at this program and analyze some of the top Amex points-earning cards, what they offer, how to redeem points and how to maximize Amex rewards and benefits. Whether you're looking to dive into Membership Rewards for the first time or you're looking to expand your portfolio, select a card for a family member or pair an existing personal card with a business card, you've come to the right place. Still, only a handful of publicly available Amex cards grant full access to the company's lucrative Membership Rewards program. That's a dizzying array of cards to choose from. American Express issues several dozen cards, including cobranded hotel and airline cards, and two editions (personal and business) of the invite-only Centurion card.
