Until May 17, 2018, using your Membership Reward earning Amex card to pay for specific online purchases through Amex Express Checkout will you earn 2 bonus Membership Rewards per dollar spent (on top of whatever category bonus your card may also earn for the card, or on top of the at least one point you’d earn for non-bonused spend). The cap on bonus points for this promotion is 5,000 Membership Rewards.
Here are the merchants you will earn 2 extra Membership Reward points with per dollar spent through Amex Express Checkout:
If you shop at any of these retailers already and also have a Membership Rewards earning card, this promo is a no brainer.
How to Earn the Extra 2x
Just look for the Amex Checkout Logo in your Shopping Cart…
…and login to your Amex account, which will trigger an autofill of your payment details on the retailer’s site. Then you complete the order as you normally would.
