Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
American Express cardholders can now redeem points through Apple Pay, offering flexibility and convenience. However, the redemption value is lower compared to transferring points to airline and hotel partners. The feature is available on eligible cards, including the American Express Business Gold Card and American Express Platinum Card. While it’s not the best way to maximize value, it’s a useful option for offsetting everyday purchases. And, of course, the points are still subject to the terms and conditions of the card issuer.
