Yes, you must have an account with the airlines before you can transfer points to that airline. Also, I just transferred 51,000 points to Jet Blue and it cost me $25.50 for the transaction, then canceled the card.

Do I have to have an account with their partners airlines (eg SWA) in order to be able to transfer the reward points to the airlines reward program?

Here’s an update on my experience:
Applied for & got the card in Sep;
Used the card and charged less than $10; paid the statement immediately; about 3 3 wks after statement posted (today, 10/25), the 25k points showed up in my Membership Rewards account.
Now — to actually use the points to get the “Free ticket”.
DO NOT try to sue them via AMEX online Travel service — they charge 100 pts per $, thus a RT BOS-LAX worth $453 costs 45k piunts. Called AMEX Memb Rewards — they said I have to go _direct_ to one of their (7) partiner airlines*. Make the res thru them and find out how many points reqd using that airlines FF system (eg SWA requires 24k points). Then go back to AMEX, do a transfer from Memb Rewards into the airlines points program — eg 24K points into SWA. Pay AMEX a transfer fee (rep said $0.50 per 1000 pts). Then go back to the airline, and “buy” your ticket using points from your new FF account.

Anyone tried this yet?
Scott

* Partner airlines for Free ticket: Airtrans, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Jet Blue, Hawaiian, Southwest.

Hi, I did the sign up for 50,000 points. It was back in August and said I had to purchase a min of 500.00 by the end of August to get the points. FYI: I’m still waiting for my points.

Hi! Love your site. Quick question about the amex offer – can you still get the business card if you’re already an amex cardholder? I noticed a section on the application asking about this. I also saw a pop-up ad advertising up to 40,000 bonus points for signing up for the card. Any news on this?Please advise. Thanks!

I have a general question about the AmEx (and various other) credit card offers for reward points, etc. They all seem to say that you can earn 1 pt. for every $1 you spend on a “qualifying/eligible purchase.” I have several bills (utilities, car, cable, etc.) automatically paid through my credit card each month. Is this considered a “purchase” for the purpose of receiving reward points?

Is Hawaii and Alaska considered “local flights” ?

I havn’t been credited the points yet, but I feel like I’m in limbo. My graduation is in December, close to Christmas, and I want to fly my mom out to see it. Have you guys had any luck booking the week before/week of Christmas? I’m afraid it is going to be blacked-out then. Thanks for your help!

Participating Airlines:

I check out the list of participating airlines on AMEX’s site. I didn’t find United, which is the only airlines that flies out of this area, so called an AMEX rep. She said their ‘internal’ list had United listed. I called again the next day, doubting Thomas that I am, got another rep and he said United didn’t participate. I told him another rep said yes so he checked and told me if I book on the AMEX/travel site that United is a participating airlines. I’m a little nervous still. Anyone have any advice?

In Amex “small print” I qouted above, note the phrase “…..participating domestic airlines…”.

Does anyone have a list of these “participating” airlines?

Thanks.

The “Airline Ticket” is not totally free.

Following is quote from Amex signup website:
“The bonus 25,000 Membership Rewards points may be redeemed for one domestic round-trip airline ticket. Cardmembers transferring points to participating domestic airlines will be charged a fee of $.0005 per point, up to $75. This charge is to offset the excise taxes American Express currently pays to the government on such transactions.”

This offer says “Domestic flights”? Can I get the free airline tickets to Hawaii? Or is it only the CONTINENTAL U.S.?
Thanks
