How to Transfer Amex Points to Aeromexico Club Premier (2026 Guide)

The short version
Amex Membership Rewards points transfer to Aeromexico Rewards (Club Premier) at 1:1.6, up to 24 hours. The best transfer bonus ratio of any Amex airline partner.
Why the 1:1.6 Ratio Is Amex's Best Transfer Bonus
Amex Membership Rewards points transfer to most airline partners at a flat 1:1 ratio. Club Premier, Aeromexico's loyalty program, is the lone outlier at 1:1.6 — every 1,000 Amex points becomes 1,600 Club Premier points automatically, with no promotional window to catch.
That 60% uplift means a Club Premier award that looks expensive in its own currency can be markedly cheaper once you account for the true Amex cost. A 60,000-point Club Premier redemption only costs 37,500 Amex points after applying the ratio.
All Membership Rewards-earning American Express cards can transfer points to Aeromexico Rewards (Club Premier) and other transfer partners — not just Platinum, Gold, Business Platinum, and Business Gold. This includes the Green Card, Everyday, Everyday Preferred, Blue Business Plus, and other business Membership Rewards cards. Transfers post in as little as a few minutes and complete within 24 hours.
How Club Premier's Award Pricing Works
Club Premier prices most awards using a region- and distance-influenced structure, with set point levels for bands like domestic Mexico, US-Mexico, and longer international zones, though some routes carry more dynamic pricing.
Aeromexico-operated flights do carry fuel/carrier-imposed surcharges (roughly $100 round-trip on NYC-MEX, for example) — there's no surcharge exemption for Aeromexico's own metal. Partner-airline awards can carry additional surcharges depending on the operating airline.
Club Premier also sells a fixed-price Round-the-World award: 224,000 points in economy or 352,000 in business, working out to just 140,000 or 220,000 Amex points once transferred.
Redemption Strategy: Mexico, Latin America, and Beyond
The clearest use case is direct US-Mexico travel — Aeromexico operates roughly 14 nonstop routes between the US and Mexico City alone, priced at flat, predictable levels.
Because Club Premier sits inside SkyTeam, the same points also unlock partner metal: Delta, Air France, KLM, Korean Air, and other SkyTeam carriers, often undercutting what those partners charge in their own loyalty currencies after the 1:1.6 conversion.
