Pay for purchases on our partner sites
You can shop at a wide selection of shops and online retail partners by using your Membership Rewards points through Safekey®. SafeKey prevents card fraud at the point of sale, helping make for a safer online shopping experience.
When you’re at checkout on one of our selected partner sites, simply start paying for the order with your American Express Business Card. Once the Safekey screen pops up, choose the "View Points" option. You can then redeem your points on the site directly. Simply choose the amount of points you want to spend and click on "Redeem Points".³
Boost your mood during the workday...
If you’d like to add some ambience to your workspace, or your own home, opt for a Spotify Premium subscription. 50,000 points will cover the cost of unlimited, ad-free music for up to two years.
You can also put points towards a Premium Spotify membership and the rest on upgrading your audio experience with a Bose Home Speaker 300. It comes with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can put on your DJ playlist, check the weather, or get the latest local news hands free.
Thank your team, clients, or both
Use Membership Rewards points on small-but-important things for the office like coffee from Costa Coffee. You can thank star performers with gift cards for Amazon, iTunes, Waterstones and other retailers.
Redeem 50,000 points on a nine-month subscription to Naked Wines and treat your clients to a bottle of something special the next time you close a deal – or just let them know you care.
Feel good by giving back
You can help those in need by donating points to good causes around the world. Donate using points to Breast Cancer Now and the Global Fund or donate to over 9,000 UK charities through JustGiving.
And finally, you can even pay off your card
You can even use your Membership Rewards points to pay for purchases within American Express – you can pay off the whole annual fee of the American Express® Business Gold Card and have £50 worth of points still left to spend. Or if you have an American Express® Business Platinum Card, you can pay off a third of your annual fee, too.
Whatever your needs, more Membership Rewards points will unlock more value. We team up with new partners to provide the best rewards for your business, allowing you the flexibility to spend on your own terms.
