Credit Card Review: American Express Membership Rewards Credit Card

September 16, 2017 by Ankit Agarwal

Credit Cards are a great tool to just not take advantage of making interest free purchases for a certain time period but also to take advantage of other benefits including rewards. There are a range of credit cards to choose from including travel specific rewards, cashbacks as well as flexible rewards card that allow you to choose a variety of redemption options based on the reward points accumulated. One such offering is the American Express Membership Rewards Credit Card.

 

Benefits of American Express Membership Rewards Credit Card (MRCC)

One of the biggest benefits of the American Express MRCC is the unique ways of earning reward points including bonus reward points just by transacting through the card. Some of them include,

  • 4,000 bonus memebership reward points on using the card within the first 60 days of membership, upon payment of annual membership fee
  • 1,000 bonus points for just using your card 4 times on transactions of Rs.1,000 and above every month
  • 5,000 bonus membership points on first year card renewal, upon paying annual membership fees

There are additional benefits including the option of winning movie vouchers worth Rs.2,000 every month.

With super easy ways to build up your reward points, the redemption options make it even easier to use your accumulated points in the best way possible through the 18 and 24 carat rewards programme. 18 carat (18,000 points) rewards allow you to choose from options like a Tanishq Voucher, Bose Soundlink speaker etc. where in the 24 carat (24,000) reward programme allows you to choose from options such as MakeMyTrip  holiday voucher, Amazon Gift Card etc.Not just this, you can redeem your accumulated points for 500+ rewards accessible through the rewards catalogue

The catalogue is fairly extensive and encompasses leading retail outlets like Westside, Central etc. while also allowing you to redeem your points at leading online stores like Amazon and Croma online. And yes, the icing on the cake with being an American Express Membership Rewards Credit Cardmember is that Membership Rewards never expire and keep accumulating as per your spends.
