Easy: Earn 1,500 Amex Membership Rewards Points By Dining Out

by Chris Dong

Back in May, American Express acquired a buzzy restaurant reservations startup, Resy. The platform is a competitor to OpenTable with over 4,000 restaurants in 200 cities worldwide.

Now, American Express is pushing its newest acquisition to the masses with a promotional offer that starts today, August 15 and runs through September 30. Here is the first promotion for the Amex Resy partnership.

The Offer

Earn up to 1,500 American Express Membership Rewards points for dining out and using Resy. This is how it works.

  • Make a restaurant reservation through Resy.
  • Register your American Express card (must be a card that earns MR points) to the “Resy Wallet”
  • Feast at your restaurant of choice and pay as you normally would (we recommend the American Express Gold card, which earns 4x MR points at US restaurants)
  • You’ll earn 500 MR points.
  • Rinse and repeat, up to 3x, for a total of 1,500 MR points.

Full details can be found here.

Eligible Amex Cards

Only cards that earn Membership Rewards points are eligible for this offer. That includes the Platinum Card by American Express, the American Express Gold Card*, the Blue Business Plus Card from American Express, among others.
