The Business Platinum Card from American Express is one of the most perks-rich business cards out there, and is useful if youre looking to earn Amex Membership Rewards points.
In order to diversify your rewards and avoid devaluations, I recommend earning transferable points currencies whenever possible. These points are racked up with programs like Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, etc.

Amex Membership Rewards has launched a 30% transfer bonus to Hilton Honors. Here's why, despite the decent rate, it's not a deal I'd personally take.

Through September 30, 2026, if you join Rakuten through a qualifying referral link and spend $50 within the first 90 days, you’ll receive a $50 bonus. The person referring you can also receive $50. This is a best-ever offer for my favorite online shopping portal, given that you can earn Amex Membership Rewards points or Bilt Rewards points with it at a favorable rate.

The Amex Membership Rewards program in the United States has just launched a lucrative new transfer bonus. Specifically, you can get 30% more Avios when you move points to any partner Avios currency, and that unlocks a lot of potential value. Let’s go over the details, as I imagine that many people will be interested in taking advantage of this.

The American Express Gold Card is one of Amex’s most compelling cards for earning Membership Rewards points. We’re continuing to see a great welcome offer on this card (with a twist), making it a great time to apply, if eligible. In this post, I’d like to go over all the details of the current deal.

Rakuten is my favorite online shopping portal, and it lets you earn bonus rewards for purchases you make online. Historically, Rakuten has offered the ability to earn cash back or Amex Membership Rewards points for online shopping, with the latter being a more compelling option (at least for those good at maximizing points).

In this post, I’d like to recap my favorite way of earning Amex Membership Rewards points that doesn’t involve credit cards. I’m talking about the ability to earn Amex points for online shopping through Rakuten, and that’s also why Rakuten is my favorite online shopping portal. I’d also like to compare it to the ability to earn Bilt Rewards points through Rakuten, since that’s still a relatively new opportunity.

The Amex Membership Rewards program has just launched a new 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. While Flying Club is in some ways a niche program, this is a deal that has the potential to offer outsized value, and I’m sure it will interest many people. I’d probably speculatively take advantage of this, except for the fact that I moved a bunch of points last year when there was a 40% transfer bonus.
One Mile at a Time•Ben Schlappig1 JulThe American Express Membership Rewards program has just launched a new 20% transfer bonus to Hilton Honors. We see transfer bonuses between the programs with some frequency. While this offer might sound nice, especially with the 1:2 transfer ratio in the first place (before the bonus), this isn’t an offer I’d personally recommend taking advantage of. However, everyone has to decide for themselves what makes sense.
