American Express has announced that it’s expanding Membership Rewards points redemption options for eligible Card Members with the launch of Use Pay with Points with Apple Pay.

The new feature allows Card Members to redeem points directly within Apple Pay online. Eligible Card Members can apply Membership Rewards points directly within the existing online or in apps Apple Pay payment experience — without needing to leave checkout, open another app or complete additional redemption steps. Here’s how:

  • Shop online or in apps on iPhone or iPad
  • Select Apple Pay at checkout
  • Choose an eligible American Express® Membership Rewards® Card
  • Select “Use Rewards” during checkout and enter the amount to apply toward the eligible purchase. You can use points to cover all or part of your purchase.
  • Redeem Membership Rewards points seamlessly by completing the Apple Pay transaction

When a user redeems Membership Rewards points through Apple Pay, Apple does not retain any transaction information linked to the user.
