Does anyone know the main differences between the 2?

membership rewards you get into after adding a charge card to the mix, your credit cards than qualify to be upgraded to membership rewards instead of express... the difference, don't know exact % but you get more with regular membership rewards vs. express, I want to say 2?? someone else?

oh so when it comes to points, unless your traveling you don't actually earn more.

but if you travel and hotel a lot then the higher up you are in point program the better.

I still can't figure out what I'm earning on my gold business card, because my points make it look like about 5% but I thought it was just 1 point, not complaining but would be nice to be able to calculate

AmEx rewards point calculations make FICO scoring look like 2th grade arthmetic.

last month, charged $5657.82

Statement shows points awarded as soon as I pay 39,500

I traded ALL my points in last month for statement credit, so these are all new this month.

What is the redemption rate for a statement credit?

[Creditaddict]

10,000=$50

I think that's pretty **bleep** good
