American Express has launched a new promotion, offering their Cardmembers an opportunity to earn Membership Rewards points and vouchers on top of that, subject to minimum spending. We wrote about the American Express Reward Multiplier in detail here.

The American Express Reward Multiplier is a shopping portal that allows you to earn more reward points when you pass through the portal to your desired shopping site. The points on offer differ per card variant.

• American Express Platinum Card: 5X Points (1X Basic/INR 40 + 4X Bonus)
• American Express Platinum Reserve Credit Card: 3X Points (1X Basic/INR 50 + 2X Bonus)
• American Express Platinum Travel Credit Card: 3X Points (1X Basic/INR 50 + 2X Bonus)
• American Express Gold Card: 5X Points (1X Basic/INR 50 + 4X Bonus)
• American Express Membership Rewards Credit Card: 2X Points (1X Basic/INR 50 + 1X Bonus)
• American Express SmartEarn Credit Card and all other Cards issued by American Express: 2X Points (1X Basic/INR 50 + 1X Bonus)

American Express allows you to make up to 25,000 bonus Membership Rewards points per month with the Reward Multiplier. Effective August 1, 2023, Amex-issued corporate cards also grant Membership Rewards Points for Reward Multiplier.

How Does the American Express Rewards Multiplier Work?

Before you shop, you need to click through the link from the Reward Multiplier website, which takes you to a screen like this. Your cart should be empty on arriving on the destination website, and then you fill up your cart and order. Bonus points arrive within 150 days of the transaction completion, usually.
