You want to get the best value from your Amex rewards. After all, you spent time, money and effort accumulating them. A question we’re often asked is, “How much are Amex Membership Rewards points worth?” so we created this tables of Amex rewards points values for your quick reference.

That’s a great question, and the short answer is, it’s complicated. The easiest way to answer it is through an example:
A client wants two business class return tickets flying from Perth to London, paid for using Amex Points.
Amex Points Needed
Airline FF Points required for the seats is 600,000.
The Amex Points conversion rate to Airline FF Points is 2 to 1
The client will need to convert 1,200,000 Amex Points to receive 600,000 Airline FF Points
Cost of Amex Points
The client earns 2.25 Amex Points for every dollar spent using their Amex Platinum Card
The total Amex spend needed to get the required points is 1,200,000 / 2.25 = $533,333.33
Amex charges an average of 1.8% on transactions
The cost to the client to get the points is $533,333.33 * 1.8% = $9,600
Cost of Paid Tickets
Two paid return business class tickets would typically cost $25,000.
Savings Using Points to Book
The total savings to the client would be $25,000 – $9,600 = $15,400
Savings Converting Points to Cash
If the client had opted to use the same number of Amex points to offset the cost of the paid ticket, the savings would only have been 1,200,000 * 0.005 = $6,000!
