Use your card abroad without paying foreign transaction fees from American Express

You receive one annual free-night award after account renewal, but it is capped at 35,000 points or less and is valid only for standard one-night redemptions. You cannot combine it with cash, although you may add up to 15,000 points to get a room up to 50k. Resort fees and all incidentals are your responsibility. Only the basic cardholder can use the certificate, and availability depends on each hotel’s standard award inventory.

Pro Tips

1. 1Use the certificate at high-cost or peak-demand properties to maximize savings.
2. 2If a hotel exceeds the 35,000-point cap, add up to 15,000 points to complete the booking.
3. 3Limit searches to standard rooms, since upgraded rooms are not eligible.
