How to use American Express Platinum Belgium Points
Your Membership Rewards Points are very flexible. You can transfer your points to various partners, such as Emirates, Miles & More (which covers the Lufthansa Group and Brussels Airlines), as well as Finnair, Delta Airlines and British Airways. Thanks to the collaboration of British Airways with Iberia and Qatar Airways you can also use your converted Avios for these airlines.
The transfer partners with their corresponding transfer rates are:
By converting your American Express Membership Rewards Points for 3:2, 150.000 points can be used to convert them to 100.000 Avios. These Avios can then be used to book business class tickets with for example Qatar Airways. I booked a flight from Brussels to Oman via Doha with Qatar Airways in Business Class and Regional First Class with Al Safwa First Class Lounge Access return-trip for 90.000 Avios + taxes.
Other ways to use your points is by converting 1:1 to Hilton or Marriott points, where you can book hotel nights. Hilton has great redemptions such as the private villa’s in Bali.

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!
