American Express just launched the launch of Upgrade with Points program. The new program will give eligible U.S. Consumer, Business and Corporate Card Members enrolled in the Membership Rewards the option to use Membership Rewards points, or a combination of points and dollars, to place offers on airline seat upgrades in first, business, or premium economy class on over 20 participating airlines. You can view all participating airlines here.
Here is How it Works:
-
Visit the Upgrade with Points section of MembershipRewards.com.
-
Select the airline you are booked with.
-
Enter your reservation details to see if your itinerary is eligible to upgrade.
-
If eligible, use Membership Rewards points, or a combination of points and dollars, to place an offer towards an upgrade.
-
Your offer will be accepted or declined by the airline, usually within 5 days of your flight. Whatever the airline’s decision, American Express will communicate the result to you via email prior to your departure.
-
If your offer was accepted, visit your airline’s website or call your airline to obtain a copy of your updated itinerary.
