Earn 1X point for every eligible £1 spent

For every eligible £1 you spend on your Card, you'll earn 1 Membership Rewards point – and there's no limit, so you can stack up the points to your heart's content, as long as your Account is open and up to date.

The same goes for Employee Cards on the Account, so your employees’ spending will keep the rewards coming in.

    Earn 2X points for every £1 spent on American Express Travel

    ​Earn one additional point for every £1 spent when you book your flights, hotels, car hire or experiences through American Express Travel Online. You can then use your points, your Card or a combination of both to pay for your booking including any taxes and charges.

      Redeem points for travel, gift cards, to pay your bill, choose to reward yourself or your business

      From spa day experiences to department store Gift Cards, use your points to treat yourself or reward those people going above and beyond for your business. You could put them towards a team lunch or new office supplies or even for a statement credit to help boost your bottom line.

      You can also transfer points to one of our partner's frequent traveller programmes, and use them to enjoy hotel stays, flights, dining and more – for business or pleasure. Our partners include British Airways, Marriott BonvoyTM, and Virgin Atlantic. Minimum, maximum and increments apply to points transfers and vary by partner. Reward bookings are subject to taxes and fees.

          To help maximise your spending limit, you can start spending and repaying the balance as soon as your get your Card, earning Rewards as you go. You can make repayments multiple times within your Billing Cycle, there’s no need to wait.

            Flexible Payment Option

            You can pay your balance in full each month, or you have the choice to use Flexible Payment Option. This allows you to pay part of your balance over time, so when cashflow fluctuates, your repayments can too – giving you peace of mind.

            You will receive a line of credit when your Card arrives and you can access this with no additional approvals or paperwork. If you choose to use the line of credit, the purchase rate applies. Click here to learn more about Flexible Payment Option.
