American Express has announced<\/a> a significant enhancement to its Membership Rewards program, introducing seamless points redemption directly through Apple Pay checkouts. This update gives eligible U.S. Card Members greater flexibility to use their points on everyday online and in-app purchases.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The new \u201cUse Pay with Points with Apple Pay\u201d feature integrates Membership Rewards redemption into Apple Pay\u2019s familiar, secure checkout experience. Card Members can now apply points toward purchases without leaving the checkout flow, switching apps, or completing extra steps.<\/p>\n

\u201cCard Members want rewards that fit naturally into how they shop and spend,\u201d said Lisa Kalhans, Executive Vice President of U.S. Consumer Cards at American Express, in a statement. \u201cWith this launch, we\u2019re making it easier than ever for Card Members to use Membership Rewards points on the purchases they make every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUsers want flexibility and choice when shopping online, and we\u2019re excited to work with American Express to bring Card Members a powerful new way to redeem rewards when checking out with Apple Pay,\u201d said Jennifer Bailey, Apple\u2019s vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, in a statement. \u201cThe feature makes it incredibly simple and convenient to use points with the seamless, secure experience users know and love from Apple Pay.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Eligible Card Members can redeem points as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Shop online or in apps on iPhone or iPad.<\/li>\n
  2. Select Apple Pay at checkout.<\/li>\n
  3. Choose an eligible American Express Membership Rewards Card.<\/li>\n
  4. Select \u201cUse Rewards\u201d and enter the amount of points to apply (full or partial coverage of the purchase).<\/li>\n
  5. Complete the Apple Pay transaction to redeem points seamlessly. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Apple does not retain any transaction information linked to the user during these redemptions, preserving privacy.<\/p>\n
