About American Express Membership Rewards® Credit Card

The American Express Membership Rewards® Credit Card is packed with features and mainly focuses on reward points. You earn 1 reward point for every ₹50 spent, along with bonus points on activation, renewal, and when you achieve monthly or yearly milestones.

Unlike regular redemption options, this card lets you redeem your points for multi-brand vouchers under the exclusive 18 Karat and 24 Karat Gold collections.
