Why PointsMax Values Amex Membership Rewards® Points at 1.5¢
American Express Membership Rewards points are valued at 1.5¢. This valuation is powered by Amex's extensive list of international transfer partners (such as Air Canada Aeroplan, British Airways Executive Club, and Avianca LifeMiles), which enable high-value business class bookings.
Our valuations represent the estimated cash yield you can expect when booking typical award tickets or hotel nights using optimal redemption strategies, rather than baseline cash-back conversions.
