American Express provides their customers with a lucrative bonus offer when they obtain the Air Miles Reserve credit card. 

After the bonus, card holders earn one Air Mile for every $10 spent on eligible Air Miles partner purchases and other eligible purchases such as gas, groceries and pharmacy. One Air Mile is earned for every $15 spent elsewhere. Card holders can redeem their points on flights, hotels, merchandise, car rentals, electronics, among many other things. In addition, card holders will earn Onyx status, a Companion Flight on a round trip economy flight once a year, four complimentary visits to airport lounges around the globe and Priority Pass status. Lastly, card holders also can take advantage of American Express customer benefits including Front of the Line, travel insurance, purchase insurance and Insider Access.

On the flip side, there are some disadvantages to this credit card. First, all of these perks aren’t free, as you can probably imagine! The annual fee for this credit card is $299 which is much more expensive than most travel-based credit cards in Canada. Second, AMEX isn’t as widely accepted as other credit cards are, like Visa and Mastercard. Using an American Express card day to day can be challenging since not every store or vendor will accept it as payment.

In summary, the American Express Air Miles Reserve credit card is a superb choice if you’re dedicated to Air Miles and want to travel in style. If the annual fee is out of your budget, American Express also offers a Platinum version with a less expensive annual fee and a basic version with no annual fee. But remember, the more you pay, the more you’ll get!
