Last chance to get your 500 free Membership Rewards points
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
Just a quick reminder – especially for anyone who has only recently got an American Express Platinum or Preferred Rewards Gold card – that 31st December is the last day to claim your 500 Membership Rewards transfer bonus.
All you need to do is make any Membership Rewards transfer before the end of the year, to receive 500 bonus points.
My original article on the deal is here.
I did this a few weeks ago and have already received my 500 points. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to register a new Membership Rewards partner before the 31st (it takes 10 days or so to link the accounts), so the only way to take part would be to transfer to a partner that is already linked to your MR account.
