Transferring Membership Rewards, step by step
Find out how to transfer Membership Rewards from American Express to other loyalty programs.
1- Login to your online account
First, you will need to log into your American Express online account.
Click on “View and Redeem Points“.

2- Go to the Membership Rewards section
You will then be taken to the Membership Rewards program page.
If you have multiple cards linked to the same American Express online account, make sure the correct Membership Rewards account is selected.
If applicable, click on”Switch Account” and choose the account from which you want to transfer.

3 - Go to the page of participating loyalty programs
Then, in the Use Points section, choose Transfer Points.

Then, you will see first the airline partners and then at the bottom of the page the hotel partners:

Then, the hotel partners:

5- Choose a program to which to transfer your points
You have two options:
- or you already have an account number with the loyalty program(Aeroplan, Marriott Bonvoy, etc) = enter your membership number
- either you do not have an account and would like American Express to open one for you = option B
Option A: add your existing membership number
This is the option we prefer because you have control over the account opening. You will immediately know your loyalty number and password.
You will need to add your existing account number when you transfer.

Option B: ask American Express to open an account for you
We strongly prefer option A: if you let American Express open a loyalty program account for you, you will often have to wait a few days.
If you want to go with this option, here are the steps:

6- Transfer your Membership Rewards points
Then, once your account has been added, you will be able to transfer your Membership Rewards in 3 steps:

To transfer your Membership Rewards points, you will need to indicate:
- The amount of Membership Rewards points to be transferred
- Security information related to one of your American Express cards (4 digits on the front + 3 digits CSC in the back)

A verification screen will display to show you:
- the number of Membership Rewards points transferred
- the number of points obtained for the partner loyalty program

Once the transfer is done, you will get a confirmation screen with your new points balance.

Check the status of your points transfers
To view a list of your Membership Rewards transfers, go to “Your Points Account” and click on “My Rewards”.
You will then see this summary.
