Current Amex to Avios transfer rate
American Express UK currently lists a 1:1 rate: one Membership Rewards point becomes one Avios. The minimum is 1,000 points and the amount must be in 500-point increments. The calculator rounds down to the largest valid transfer and shows any points left behind.
Rates and promotions can change, so check the live American Express transfer screen before confirming.
Check the reward before transferring
Membership Rewards points are flexible while they remain with American Express. Once transferred, they are governed by the receiving programme and generally cannot be moved back to Amex. Search the intended reward first and transfer only what you expect to use.
Use the Avios destination finder to estimate what a balance could cover, then confirm the exact reward and availability with British Airways.
Is transferring to Avios good value?
The 1:1 transfer rate does not by itself establish value. Compare the cash fare you would otherwise buy, subtract the reward's taxes and fees, then divide the saving by the Avios used. Our Avios value calculator does that comparison.
