American Express cardholders can now use their Membership Rewards points when checking out with Apple Pay for online purchases. This feature allows users to redeem their points directly during the Apple Pay secure checkout experience, eliminating the need to leave the checkout process or open another app.
To use this feature, simply shop online or in apps on your iPhone or iPad, select Apple Pay at checkout, choose an eligible American Express card, select 'Use Rewards,' and enter the number of points you wish to redeem to cover all or part of your purchase. Once the transaction is completed, your Membership Rewards points will be redeemed seamlessly.
Importantly, Amex assures that Apple will not retain any transaction information associated with you. To add your American Express card to Apple Pay, open the Wallet app, tap the + button, hold your card near the iPhone, and follow the instructions provided. After adding it, make your Amex card the default payment option for Apple Pay, and you're ready to go.
