Manual Enrollment

Yes. When you charge your purchase or renewal of your Prime subscription to your Membership Rewards® enrolled eligible American Express Card, you can choose to use Membership Rewards points to cover the charge. Points will be debited from your program account towards the total amount of the Prime subscription, and will be subsequently debited towards the total amount of the renewal if your subscription is set for auto-renewal. In the event your Membership Rewards points balance is not enough to cover the charge for the total amount of the subscription, American Express will separately charge the portion of your subscription that you did not cover with points to your American Express Card account and you will receive a statement credit only for the amount of the points used. You can choose to select a different payment method to pay for the subscription at any time on the link below. In the event you are using a Prime trial subscription, you can still choose to use your Membership Rewards enrolled eligible American Express Card as the payment preference so that you can use points to cover the charge for your subscription after your trial period ends.
