Can I get points on amex travelers cheques?

Anonymous — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:44:37 GMT

I own a business that pays a few vendors in checks because they do not accept cards. It comes out to roughly 500k/year in spending that I cannot get points for!

I was wondering

1. If I can recieve points on purchases of travelers cheques (amex offers them at no fee for platinum card holders)

2. Is there a limit to the amount of cheques you can purchase?

3. Does amex or any other business credit or charge card offer something that will allow me take advantage of the spending without using the card?

As far as I'm cocerned I'm just throwing money away if I'm spending and not recieiving miles or points.

Unfortunately, AMEX Travelers Checks are NOT eligible for membership rewards points. Maybe if you would have luck if you purchased them with a different debit or credit card. You will probably be scrutinized if you purchase large amounts of travelers checks, due to anti money~laundering regulations. There may also be monthly limits on how much you can purchase.
