This offer is not applicable to holders of an existing American Express Small Business Card product. Points may be transferred to select third party frequent flyer or loyalty programs participating in the Membership Rewards® program and then redeemed for one economy class round-trip airline ticket. Once points are transferred, they are subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of such third party program. Currently, up to 25,000 points are required for a round-trip economy class flight to continental United States (including Alaska) and Canada (plus applicable fees and taxes). When we stop offering the Welcome Bonus, we reserve the right to accept applications but you will not be eligible for the Welcome Bonus.
