What do 30,000 American Express (Amex) points get you?

07 Mar 2023

You've earned 30,000 American Express Membership Rewards points1, which entitles you to discounts on retail, travel, and technology from our network of partners.

Reaching this milestone may be an excellent opportunity to express gratitude to employees, suppliers, or clients - or you may prefer to get something new for yourself or your business.

Cardmembers earn points for every whole £1 spent with an American Express® Business Gold Card2, and 30,000 points are worth an average of £120-£150 depending on where you utilize them.

Here we look at the various ways you can maximize your points balance.

Luxury hotel stays.

33,000 Membership Rewards points can be transferred to Marriott Bonvoy and converted into 49,500 Bonvoy points. Unfortunately, Marriott has recently discontinued award charts in favor of dynamic pricing, but depending on your dates, 49,500 Bonvoy points should be enough for a night at:

• Residence Inn Tower Bridge
• Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club
• London Marriott Hotel Canary Wharf
• University Arms Hotel, Autograph Collection
• Renaissance Barcelona Hotel
• Marriott Marbella Beach Resort
• Sheraton Rhodes
• The Domes of Corfu, Autograph Collection
• The St. Regis Dubai, The Palm
• The Westin Cape Town

If you prefer a Radisson brand, you can convert those points into 99,000 Radisson Rewards points at a 1:3 transfer rate. That means you could reserve:

• 2 nights at the Park Plaza London Park Royal
• 2 nights at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Birmingham
• 3 nights at the Park Inn by Radisson Manchester City Centre
• 3 nights at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort Abu Dhabi Corniche
• 3 nights at the Radisson Hotel Istanbul Sultanahmet
• 3 nights at the Radisson Blu Hotel Florence
• 4 nights at the Radisson Blu Sobieski Hotel, Warsaw

Anywhere in British Airways flies.

Here at TPG, we love British Airways Reward Flight Savers because they offer low-cost redemptions to British Airways' extensive Europe network. Membership Rewards points transfer at a 1:1 ratio to Executive Club, so 33,000 Amex Membership Rewards points are worth 33,000 Avios.

You could book two tickets and return on peak or off-peak dates to the following popular London destinations:

• Alicante, Spain
• Bari, Italy
• Dubrovnik, Croatia
• Ibiza, Spain
• Madrid, Spain
• Oslo, Norway
• Venice, Italy

If you want to travel further afield, your 33,000 Membership Rewards points would be more than enough for one person to fly from London to:

• Amman, Jordan
• Abuja, Nigeria
• Cairo, Egypt
• The Canary Islands
• Kuwait
• Tel Aviv (TLV), Israel

Reward your employees and clients.

Thank hardworking employees with gift cards from a variety of retailers. You could redeem 30,000 points for three £50 Selfridges gift cards, which employees could use to treat themselves to something special, such as delicacies from the famous Selfridges Food Hall or a fragrance or beauty product.

Or how about a £150 gift card from wine specialist Laithwaite's to toast your team's success? You could treat the entire team by ordering wine and sharing it.

Redeem points on business travel.

You can put 30,000 points towards your next airline flight, Eurostar journey, or hotel stay with one of our loyalty partners and use them whenever you want.
