How can I earn extra points on my American Express® Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card?


Membership Rewards points are earned for every £1 spent and charged per eligible transaction on your American Express® Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card at the following rates: one point for every full £1 spent and charged per transaction, two additional points for every full £1 spent and charged per transaction on pre-paid hotels, flights, car hire and experiences at American Express Travel (excludes cruises and The Hotel Collection), one additional point for every full £1 spent and charged per transaction directly with airlines over the phone or online via their official website or affiliated mobile apps (only transactions made directly with the airline will be included for bonus Membership Rewards points, including but not limited to flights, car hire, package holidays and insurance. Bookings made with other travel agents, comparison sites and affiliates will not be included for bonusing) and one additional point for every equivalent £1 spent on your Card in a foreign currency (if your transaction is converted into your local currency before submitting to us, you will earn at your normal rate).

Membership Rewards points are not earned on interest, fees (including default fees), balance transfers, cash advances (including transactions treated as cash), loading of pre-paid Cards, American Express Travellers Cheque purchases or foreign exchange transactions; and any amounts that are subsequently re-credited to your Card Account by way of refunds.
