American Express recently introduced its Reward Xcelerator program in India. This program, specifically designed for Platinum and Centurion charge cardholders, offers the opportunity to earn 10x Membership Rewards (Amex MR) points with various merchants.
A few merchants offer an even more rewarding 20x points.
With the 10x promo, for every INR 100 spent on Amex Platinum, you earn 25 MR points, while American Express Centurion card users get 30 MR points.
The rewards are quite substantial, notably when Amex points are transferred to Marriott Bonvoy during the 30% bonus promotion period.
The list of merchants for Amex Reward Xcelerator isn’t long. However, there are some good options available.
And now, with Air India, the Amex Reward Xcelerator program gets its first travel partner.
Earn 10x Amex Points on Air India.
Amex Platinum and Amex Centurion cardholders can now earn 10x Amex MR points when booking a flight with Air India. This offer also extends to supplementary cards.
