What do I do with these AMEX points?

Image
How you use Amex points matters just as much as how you earn them. A little strategy can turn everyday spending into unforgettable trips. Why people love Amex points:  • Transfer to airline partners for outsized value  • Unlock business and first-class flights for fewer points  • Book international trips at a fraction of the cash price  • Stack transfer bonuses when they pop up πŸ‘‰Click here for all the details Partner offer, terms apply. 

Rakuten for the points!

Guess what? If you shop online and aren’t using Rakuten, you’re probably leaving thousands of points on the table. Rakuten lets you earn rewards on purchases you’re already making — and the best part is you can earn American Express Membership Rewards or Bilt Rewards points no matter which credit card you use. Prefer cash instead? That’s an option too.  There’s also a solid bonus for new users who sign up through a referral link. A great example is today PetSmart is 20% back! The payout for this quarter is 2/15/26 — and I will be earning 60,000 points. Why I use it: — Turns everyday shopping into transferable points — Stacks on top of your credit card rewards — One of the easiest ways to earn points — I’ve earned more in a quarter than some full sign-up bonuses Here is a referral link if you’re a new user and would like to earn $50.00/5000 points.

This card pays for itself

What’s  your favorite credit card? This one is mine—by far. Just this week, I used: • $75 Lululemon credit • $50 Saks credit • My airline incidental credit • A Resy steakhouse dinner for our wedding anniversary By splitting the bill across two cards, we knocked  $200 off  the total. When you actually use the perks, this card easily justifies the annual fee.
