Does anyone know what the Amex Rewards Card Membership Programme is and what the benefits are if I take up the card?

I don’t have a pleasant story with all these cards that promise rewards and out of the world benefits so I want to be double sure this Amex Rewards Card is worth it and not just empty promises. Can I have a quick update about this card?

    I think this reward card is the real deal that delivers on its reward promises. You will have to sign up for the cards Membership Rewards Programme to first earn 1 Membership Rewards point for every $1 spent. In addition, you will receive 50% more bonus points on the first $5,000 you charge to your American Express Rewards Card at your Favourite five places. Just take your pick over a selection of 150 outlets which include supermarkets, petrol stations, fashion outlets, restaurants and electronic stores. I also like the opportunity they offer to earn 50% bonus points faster when one spends $5,000 on the Card in a calendar year on all your spend, every time, everywhere. And of course unlike other loyalty programmes, Membership Rewards points never expire.

50% bonus points on all your spend every time and everywhere

I think it is great the promotion they have which promises that if you spend $5,000 on your card in a calendar year you will get 50% bonus points on all your spend every time and everywhere. Interestingly also you receive 24,000 bonus points when you spend $500 a month for the first three months of the Card membership. That is enough points to redeem for $110 cash credit or 13,250 miles

Points cannot be redeemed for cash

Points cannot be redeemed for cash. The Membership Rewards programme lets you redeem points for a long list of money-saving vouchers, merchandise and even airline frequent flyer miles. But unfortunately you don't get an option to redeem for cash, so if you prefer flexible cash rewards, then maybe you should go for other cashback cards.

I have had this card for a long while. The good thing with the card is that AMEX have been waiving my annual fees which is probably why I still have the card.
