The flexibility, value, and convenience of the American Express Membership Rewards® Program enables Cardmembers to reward themselves however they want to be rewarded.
Canadians in the know all know one thing: when it comes to getting rewarded for everyday purchases, the American Express Membership Rewards Program is the way to go. Earning points is easy, and anyone with one of several American Express Cards — including the Platinum Card® from American Express, the American Express Cobalt Card®, the Business Platinum Card® from American Express, and many more — is automatically enrolled in the program and welcomed into a world of flexibility, choice, and value.
Earn points on your everyday spend
Amex Cardmembers earn points wherever they use their Card, so they accumulate quickly — especially with Cards that let them earn 2x, 3x, or even 5x the points on certain categories. “With a wide selection of Cards that earn Membership Rewards points, Canadians are sure to find the perfect Card that matches their personal spending habits and rewards them on their everyday purchases, wherever they shop with their Card,” says Joe Ryan, Vice-President of Proprietary Products and Marketing, International Card Services at Amex Canada. With interest rates rising and the cost of living sky-high in Canada, getting rewarded on everyday purchases has never been more welcomed and appreciated by Canadians.
With Membership Rewards, it’s all within reach
Membership Rewards brings the things you want within reach, with accelerated earn rates and the choice to reward yourself the way you want to be rewarded. Cardmembers get unparalleled flexibility when it comes to where, how, and when they use their points. From travel enthusiasts to avid shoppers, there’s something for everyone.
“What’s great about Membership Rewards is that Cardmembers can redeem points the way they want — for statement credits; for flights, hotels, or car rentals with American Express Travel; for flights at AirCanada.com; to shop at Amazon.ca or with PayPal; or for merchandise and gift cards, among many other options,” says Ryan. “The options are endless.”
