AMEX Membership Rewards points will be devalued in a month's time, but welcome bonuses officially take 12 weeks to post. Is it a lost cause? Maybe not...
From 23 February 2026, the cost of Membership Rewards transfers to AMEX's 8 airline partners will increase by up to 25% (50% for Emirates), with a commensurate cut to earn rates- and even unfulfilled welcome offers!
The AMEX Platinum Credit Card's S$200 Lifestyle Credit is now the Fashion & Dining Credit, and while the quantum is unchanged, the opportunity for extra first year value has been removed.
From now till 31 December 2026, register your American Express cards and save up to 21% off petrol at SPC stations islandwide- at the expense of miles.
Existing AMEX cardholders now enjoy 98,250 bonus MR points with a new AMEX Platinum Charge and a min. spend of S$3,000, the best welcome offer in over two years.
From 2026, AMEX Platinum vouchers are issued digitally- and based on calendar year. This gives existing cardholders a bit of a windfall, as they'll have double the vouchers to use!
