What you must know about the card
- The American Express card has a costly fee (240 euro for Gold; 780 euro for Platinum) but with good planning, you can get the most out of this card.
- Avoid buying goods in other currencies than euro. American Express charges high conversion fees (2,5%)
Where can I pay with American Express?
Presently, American Express is not accepted everywhere in Belgium. However, the key to earn as much miles as possible is to use the card for all your spending, from fuel to groceries to travels. At this point, supermarkets as Carrefour and LIDL accept Amex. Many fuel stations, such as Q8 accept Amex too. Online shopping widely accepts Amex and all bookings related to travel can be done with this credit card. Overall, vendors who accept Paypal also means American Express can be used to pay. The overall acceptance is listed on the Amex website.

This is a fantastic offer for Belgians looking to maximize their travel rewards. The American Express Platinum card’s sign-up bonus of up to 150,000 Membership Rewards points is more than enough for a business class return trip. Plus, earning 1 point for every euro spent makes it easy to accumulate points for future travels.
The additional perks, like free lounge access, hotel status upgrades, and annual dining credits, make this card even more valuable. While the annual fee might seem high, the benefits and rewards make it worth considering.
However, it’s important to note that the card is not accepted everywhere in Belgium, and there is a high conversion fee for non-euro transactions. It’s also worth mentioning that the sign-up bonus requires a minimum spend of €4,000 within the first three months.
Overall, this is a great opportunity for frequent travelers to earn a significant amount of points and enjoy premium travel benefits. Thank you for sharing this offer!
