Amex Announces Groundbreaking Partnership with Flight Search Engine Point. Me
By James H. Sterling
The co-branded interface functions as an award discovery layer connected directly to the American Express Membership Rewards portal. Cardholders log into their accounts, navigate to the rewards transfer dashboard, and launch the search module. Entering an origin, destination, date, and preferred class of service initiates an automated sweep of Amex’s airline transfer partners.
The system returns options ranked by value, detailing the required points, estimated cash co-pays for taxes and fees, and step-by-step instructions for booking. It does not transfer points automatically. Once a traveler selects an itinerary, the platform guides them to transfer Membership Rewards points to the respective partner at official transfer ratios, which typically sit at 1:1. From there, the booking concludes on the airline’s own website. The tool solves the search problem while leaving the actual transactional handling inside the airline's native infrastructure.
