Okay, award travelers, listen up! If you have The Business Platinum Card from American Express, you already know it's packed with perks. But let's talk about one of the BEST: getting 35% of your points back when you use them to book flights through the Amex Travel portal with your selected airline. Yes, you read that right – almost half your points back!

So, how does it work? You need to choose a qualifying airline. Then, when you book flights with that airline (or even first or business class on any airline) through the Amex Travel portal and pay with points, Amex will automatically rebate 35% of those points back into your account. Think of it as a super-powered discount on award flights!

Why is this a big deal? Because it essentially makes your Amex Membership Rewards points worth even more when redeemed for flights. It's like finding extra miles in your account without even flying! This could be a game-changer for booking those pricier business class tickets, or just stretching your points further for more trips. Now, go forth and book those flights!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
