Terms and Conditions

These Corporate Membership Rewards® program Terms & Conditions are an extension of the Commercial Card Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into by and between you, the Client and us, American Express. You may participate in the Corporate Membership Rewards program only after being approved by American Express.

1. IMPORTANT NOTICE


The Corporate Membership Rewards (CMR) program allows corporate clients to enroll their Corporate Cards issued under the Agreement (“Cards”) and get one point for every dollar charged for an eligible purchase by the enrolled Cards. 

 

We may add to and/or change the Corporate Membership Rewards program Terms & Conditions at any time. For example, we could:

 

  • Change eligibility requirements
  • Change the number of points you can earn for spending
  • Change the number of points required to get rewards
  • Impose caps and/or fees on earning and/or using points
  • Increase annual and/or other program fees
  • Cancel rewards

We also may cancel the program at any time, as long as we give you three months notice. During this three-month period, we may change or cancel some or all of the rewards that are current at that time. Once the three months have passed, you’ll no longer be able to earn or use points.


Our merchants and rewards may change at any time. Corporate Membership Rewards points (“points”) can only be used for rewards that are currently available. Certain rewards are only available for specific time periods.


Some rewards may have additional terms and conditions, including those from our merchants. To see detailed terms and conditions for a specific reward, find your reward on corporatemembershiprewards.com and then click the “Terms & Conditions” link on the reward detail page.


When you use points to get rewards, you release American Express and all of its affiliates from liability for your use of points, for the reward and how you use it and for your participation in the program.


American Express and our merchants are not responsible for replacing lost, stolen or damaged certificates, tickets or gift cards.


We may refuse your request to use points if any of the participating Cards linked to your account are not in good standing.


These Terms & Conditions apply to your participation in the Corporate Membership Rewards program. Your Card Member Agreement applies to your Linked Card Account.


2. WHO CAN USE THE PROGRAM & ANNUAL FEES


(2.A) SETTING UP AND USING YOUR PROGRAM ACCOUNT
Enrollment in the Corporate Membership Rewards program is not automatic. The Master Program Administrator (MPA) must authorize the enrollment at the Company ID-level. If your company does not already have an MPA designated in @ Work, please call 1-888-800-8564 to do so.

 

To set up a new Corporate Membership Rewards account, your company will first authorize the Corporate Membership Rewards program account that will be the primary account (Virtual Primary Corporate Membership Rewards Account) tied to your Corporate Membership Rewards program. This is a virtual account that will not be issued a plastic Card. The MPA will be the owner of this account. If there is an MPA change in your company, please call 1-888-800-8564 so that the Virtual Corporate Membership Rewards program account is updated with the new MPA information. If your company is receiving data files, the Virtual Primary Corporate Membership Rewards Account basic controlaccount must be added to those feeds.


Definition of roles:


Master Program Administrator (MPA): A role within @ Work given to an individual within a given Company ID (CID) who will oversee all other Program Administrators and employees with permissions to transact on behalf of their Card programs.

The CMR PA will also have permission to access the Corporate Membership Rewards program center in @ Work to manage Card enrollment in the program and add/remove other CMR PAs within the same CMR program. The CMR PA may be a different employee than the PA of the Corporate Card program who manages other aspects of the program.
