Why should I get an American Express credit card?

All of us spend money every day for daily purchases, like buying food at grocery stores, online purchases like Amazon, fuel stations, restaurants, IKEA and more.

By using your American Express card, you will collect American Express reward points for every Euro spent. These reward points can be used for many things, like free flight tickets, upgrade to a higher class like business or first class, free stays at hotels or by obtaining gift vouchers in different stores.

The 3 best options for spending your American Express reward points

1. Convert American Express Reward points into Airline Miles

This is probably the best option you have, convert your points into Airline Miles.

After you’ve changed your points into miles, you can book tickets in any class you want, or upgrade to a higher class. Just make sure you have enough miles.

These are the possibilities to convert your points to miles with airline partners, as shown in this list:

2. Convert American Express Reward points into Hotel points

You can transfer your American Express points to Hotel chains like Hilton or Marriott, and use these points to get free stays.

3. Convert American Express Reward points into shopping vouchers

Another possibility is to use your reward points for shopping vouchers and buy products via the American Express website. This is usually not a good value compared to transferring the points to airline miles or even hotel points.

How much does the Amex card cost?

• Amex Platinum: 65€ a month.
• Amex Gold: 20€ a month.

It is possible to cancel the card at any time, but your bonus points might be waived if you cancel within the first year.

Are there more benefits for American Express cardholders?
