- If your ad or phone spend goes to a provider outside Amex's list, it may earn 1X instead of 4X from Feb 17, 2027.
- The other 4X categories and the yearly 4X cap aren't part of this change.
Fine print
- Amex's product page says only "select merchants" and points to the card terms for the list; check the terms for the merchants that qualify.
- Points are not cash; their value depends on how you redeem them.
