(You have to spend a minimum of 1’500€ within the first 3 months to receive the 6000 miles bonus on top)

 

Why should I get an American Express credit card?

All of us spend money every day for daily purchases, like buying food at grocery stores, online purchases like Amazon, fuel stations, restaurants, IKEA and more.

By using your American Express card, you will collect American Express reward points for every Euro spent. Those reward points can be used for many things, like free flight tickets, upgrade to a higher class like business or first class, free stays at hotels or by obtaining gift vouchers in different stores.

 

What are the best options for spending your American Express reward points?

  • Convert American Express Reward points into Airline Miles

American Express Belgium or Luxembourg Welcome Bonus

This is probably the best option you have, convert your points into Airline Miles.

After you’ve changed your points into miles, you can book tickets for free in any class you want, or upgrade to a higher class. Just make sure you have enough miles.

Read more about airline miles and points here.

  • Convert American Express Reward points into Hotel points

You can transfer your American Express points to Hotel chains like Hilton or Marriott, and use these points to get free stays.

  • Convert American Express Reward points into shopping vouchers

Another possibility is to use your reward points for shopping vouchers and buy products via the American Express website. This is usually not a good value compared to transferring the points to airline miles or even hotel points.

 

How much does the Amex card cost?

  • Amex Platinum: 65€ a month.
  • Amex Gold: 20€ a month.
  • Amex Brussels Airlines Premium: First 3 months for free, thereafter 12.5€ a month.

It is possible to cancel the card at any time, but your bonus points might be waived if you cancel within the first year.

 

Are there more benefits for American Express cardholders?

As mentioned earlier, you can collect American Express reward points and change them into airline miles for booking or upgrading flights or hotel points for free stays, but there are even more advantages…

American Express Platinum Card

The American Express Platinum card offers the most benefits by far.

American Express Platinum Bonus Belgium Luxembourg with free airport lounge access

  • You’ll receive a free Unlimited Priority Pass, which gives you and your partner access to airport lounges at no cost. To get a free Priority Pass for your partner, you just need to ask for a second Amex Platinum card for them, and this second card is free. Normally, one Unlimited Priority Pass costs 399€ per year. Now that you have two Priority Passes, you can each invite another person to join you, making it a total of up to 4 people. You can read all about Priority Pass here.
  • Gold status with Hilton, Marriott Bonvoy, Melia and Radisson. Once you have the card, you have to log in and visit this page to obtain the gold status with the mentioned hotel brands.
  • €300/year offered in a selection of restaurants, here’s the list of participating restaurants.

Many insurances regarding travel are included as well.

          Hi,
          As of today I have not received the welcome points. The card was received already in May 2020. I called today the customer service and inquired about the 25,000 points. They said they will check and call me back. Did you get them already on your side?
          Thank you

      Hi,
      there is also an other bonus for the amex brussels airlines premium
      with 16k Miles for Miles and More.
      and you can collect 1,5 Miles for each 1 € spent.

        That’s true.
        It seems you can only apply for that you if you live in Belgium, we tried many times for Luxembourg and it didn’t work.
        And a big disadvantage, you can only collect for Miles and More.
        You collect however more Miles with every € spent, but Miles and More isn’t everybodys favourite program.

          Thats strange.
          I have applied in September for the premium.
          I live and work in Luxembourg and it was approved directly.
          The card has been delivered within 10 working days.
          If people collect for MM then amex premium is very good product.

          One more big disadvantage is the impossibility for BE/LUX to join automatically the gold Status of several hotel chains (p.ex. Hilton, Marriott, etc) Very, very sad about this.
          While the neighbour countries have this incl.
