Additional point bonuses you may receive with your Card on other purchase categories from American Express may not be combined with this benefit (e.g., 2X bonuses for Business Platinum Card Members, etc.). Purchases eligible for multiple additional point bonuses will only receive the highest eligible bonus. The benefits associated with the Additional Card(s) you choose may be different than the benefits associated with your basic Card. To learn about the benefits associated with Additional Card(s) you choose, please call the number on the back of your Card. Merchants are assigned codes based on what they primarily sell. We group certain merchant codes into categories that are eligible for additional points. A purchase with a merchant will not earn additional points if the merchant’s code is not included in an additional points category. You may not receive additional points if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as eligible for an additional points category. For example, you may not receive additional points when: a merchant uses a third-party to sell their products or services; or a merchant uses a third-party to process or submit your transaction to us (e.g., using mobile or wireless card readers); or you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or make a purchase using a mobile or digital wallet.

4. 2X Membership Rewards Points
You get 2X Membership Rewards® points per dollar on up to two million dollars ($2,000,000) of eligible purchases on your Card Account per calendar year, made in any of the following categories: (1) U.S. construction material and hardware suppliers, (2) U.S. electronic goods retailers and software & cloud system providers, (3) at U.S. shipping providers, or (4) eligible purchases of $5,000 or more. Purchases eligible for multiple categories will only receive 2X points for one category. For example, a single eligible purchase made within one of the aforementioned categories that is also $5,000 or more will only receive a total of 2X points per dollar. Additional point bonuses you may receive with your Card on other purchase categories from American Express may not be combined with this benefit (e.g., 5X bonuses for Business Platinum Card Members, etc.). Purchases eligible for multiple additional point bonuses will only receive the highest eligible bonus.
For example, for a single eligible purchase of $10,000 on a scheduled flight made online at AmexTravel.com or the Amex Travel App™ that would otherwise qualify for 2X points and 5X points, will earn a total of 50,000 points, or 5X points per dollar, because 5X points is the highest eligible bonus. For additional information please visit https://www.americanexpress.com/us/rewards-info/business.html.
You will not get the extra points associated with this benefit if American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible for the benefit. For example, a purchase transaction of $5,000 or more will not qualify if the merchant divides the purchase into transactions of less than $5,000 before providing the information to American Express. Airlines, hotels, retailers, aggregators, and online marketplaces are a few examples of merchants that may divide purchases into smaller transactions. Transactions may be divided by date of availability, shipping date, ticket, or reservation, among other things.
Eligible purchases are purchases for goods and services minus returns and other credits. Eligible purchases do NOT include fees or interest charges, cash advances, purchases of travelers checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, purchases of gift cards, person to-person payments, purchases of other cash equivalents, or purchases covered by points or other rewards at point of sale. To be eligible to receive extra points, Card account(s) must not be cancelled or past due at the time of fulfillment. You will typically receive the extra Membership Rewards points 8-12 weeks after the billing period in which you make the eligible purchase.
Merchants are assigned codes based on what they primarily sell. A purchase will not earn additional points if the merchant's code is not eligible. Purchases made through a third party payment account or on an online marketplace (with multiple retailers) will not earn additional points. A purchase may not earn additional points if the merchant submits the purchase using a mobile or wireless card reader or if you use a mobile or digital wallet.

6. Membership Rewards® Pay with Points at AmexTravel.com
To use Pay with Points, you must charge your eligible purchase through American Express Travel to a Membership Rewards® program-enrolled American Express® Card. Eligible purchases through American Express Travel exclude non-prepaid car rentals and non-prepaid hotels.
