AMEX Offers | Get 5x Reward Points on Utility Payments

Yet again, Amex has come up with a lucrative promotion that enables you to reap five times the regular Reward Points when you charge your American Express Card to pay off your utility expenses on water, electricity, and gas. By doing that, you can earn 5 Membership Rewards Points on every Rs 100 you spend on utilities. However, the maximum accelerated points that you can accumulate during the offer period is 3000 RPs and has been further trifurcated to 1000 Points per month. 

Below are the pointers to facilitate you with relevant offer details:

• The offer is valid from 9 July 2020 to 30 September 2020.
• You can earn a maximum of up to 3,000 points during the offer period.
• A maximum of 1,000 points in a calendar month.
• A Cardmember is eligible for this offer only if he/she has received an offer communication from American Express through any of its channels.
• Membership Rewards points will be credited to Cardmember’s account within 90 days after the calendar month in which eligible spends under the offer has been made.
• Payments made through payment wallets will not be eligible for Membership Rewards points under the offer.

To reap the maximum benefit, you need to make utility bill payments aggregating to Rs 10,000 per month i.e., Rs 10000 ÷ 50 = 200 Points x 5 = 1000 Points per month.

However, do keep in mind that transactions going through an aggregator like Paypal, Paytm, PayU, Amazon Pay, PhonePe, etc. may not trigger Membership Rewards points since it entirely depends upon how a merchant submits its transactions to American Express.
