American Express Partners with Award Search Platform Point.me

American Express and point.me, a points and travel award search platform, announced today a new partnership. That means that eligible American Express card members can easily search award flight options that they can redeem and transfer with American Express Membership Rewards® points.

Point.me simplifies reward travel search and booking by making it easy to search for great reward flight options using points without being a points expert. The new complimentary service, ‘point.me for Membership Rewards® points,’ will offer a suite of features to help eligible Card Members find reward flight options with Membership Rewards® points at participating airlines (and their alliance partners). It will allow Card Members to compare reward flight options across 150+ airlines and access step-by-step booking instructions.

An annual Point.me membership normally starts at $129. They also offer daily passes that cost $5. But now if you have an eligible American Express credit card, you get free access with some limitations. You can only search for award bookings with programs that are transfer partners of American Express Membership Rewards.

“We’re ecstatic to be connecting with American Express Card Members through ‘point.me for Membership Rewards® points’,” Adam Morvitz, CEO of point.me offered. “This partnership provides American Express Card Members with an easy way to search and compare the incredible airline loyalty transfer options offered through their Membership Rewards® Program. It will help them find the best way to travel – from first and business class seats to dream trips for the entire family.”

“Whether traveling for business or planning a family vacation, we hope to create an easier, streamlined way for Card Members to plan their travels and make the most of their Membership,” said Anthony Cirri, Executive Vice President of U.S. Consumer Product Management and Lending.

Card members can access ‘point.me for Membership Rewards® points’ by visiting point.me/amex (terms apply). You can use your American Express username and password to log in.

Point.me has also partnered with Bilt.
