| Frequently
Asked Questions about American Express®
Pay with Points:
|
1.
What is Pay with Points (PWP)?
Pay with Points
allows you to redeem your American Express® Membership
Rewards® (MR) points for payment of any Cruise, Tour,
or Air vacation. You must simply inform the Accent Travel
/ American Express® Travel Representative agent that
you wish to apply your points to your travel and with the
account and card information you will then provide, the
two of you will be able to successfully credit your purchase.
2. How often can I use PWP?
Cardholders can use the PWP option as often as they
travel, as long as they have points in the MR account to
use.
3.
Is there a minimum amount of points that a card holder
is required to use?
Yes, 5,000 points is the minimum point deduction allowed.
4. What is the timeline for PWP to reach my American
Express® credit card?
The deduction and credit process to your account occurs
after payment has been applied and the Agency Services
desk (ASD) requests a point transfer. In most cases, the
credit will be applied to the account within 7 days (often
within 2 days). Depending on your card's cycle, the application
of the credit may carry over to the following cycle.
5.
My American Express® card was issued in Canada-- is
it eligible for PWP?
Only US issued cards are eligible for the Pay with Points
option.
6.
How many points will I need to reach a specific dollar
amount?
There are different point-per-dollar ratios depending
on the product you are using (air, tour, or cruise). When
making a booking inquiry or reservation, your agent will
be able to give you a definite conversion rate depending
on the nature of your travel.
7.
I know I can use PWP for air, tour, and cruise, but what
about hotel and car?
Only pre-paid vacations are eligible for PWP. Since some
car rental and some hotel stays are not pre-paid, they
do not qualify for PWP.
