Unlock a world of travel possibilities by transferring your Amercian Express Membership Rewards points to an array of airline partner programs and using points as points to fly.

Here's how you can easily convert the points you've earned on your eligible American Express credit card into frequent flyer points with your selected airline.

How to Transfer Membership Rewards Points to [Selected Airline] Points

1. Log In: Access your American Express account.

2. Navigate to Rewards: From the dropdown menu, choose 'Membership Rewards Home'.

3. Go to Travel Redemption: Click on 'Redeem', followed by 'Travel', and then hit 'Redeem' once more.

4. Link Airline Programs: If this is your first time transferring points to this specific airline, your frequent flyer number may not be linked to your American Express account. Click on 'Link More Airline Programs' to make the connection.

   Important Note

   Transfers are irreversible, so ensure that all details are accurate before completing the transaction.

   Points must be transferred to a frequent flyer account that bears the exact name as your American Express account. Mismatches, including discrepancies between common names and formal passport names, can result in errors or delays.

   Make sure you visit the Australian AMEX rewards page and not that of other countries as each country has different partners and transfer ratios.
