Amex Platinum Earns 5x on MPX
In above picture you can clearly see that Amex Platinum is in fact generating 5x on a MileagePlus X (MPX) purchase. It can take quite some while before you get your 5x and that might be one reason why this deal isn’t being noticed. On 7th of July I purchased $25 Amazon gift card but I had to wait till 21st of August for 5x to show up in MR statement page.
That said, PRG should also earn 3x on MPX. While I don’t have first hand experience of 3x earning, I think it is fair to trust DP of 3x earning.

For a while now I’ve seen scattered reddit DPs of 3x and 5x MR earning on MPX for PRG and Platinum cards respectively. At first I thought these were false DPs but the repetitive occurrence of these DPs across multiple platforms hints otherwise. However, the issue with these reddit DPs is that I can’t find them anymore. I suspect they’ve been deleted and I now feel that I’ve been too unwise to not screenshot them.
I recall a recent DP claimed 5x earning on Schwab platinum and it actually had proof to back up the claim. Before making this post I went over my reddit “saved” post history and I couldn’t find the said comment anymore. Anyhow, for now following is what we have:
- On June 25th 2017, a reddit user claimed that he earned 3x on PRG.
I’ll add more when/if I can find some of the other one I’m referring to.

Thanks for the datapoint!
[…] Amex Platinum (AF 450-550) earns 5x on MPX purchase. […]
I wonder if anyone has any new update on the 5X points?
it should still work. not long ago i replicated the 5x earningon a different personal platinum card as well.
Ok, per the “pending points” section, MPX is still earning 5x on Platinum, however looking at the statement, the “5x” symbol stopped appearing on MPX purchases from Nov. 3rd onward.
Not sure if that is a glitch, or the “pending points” will be revised downward.
it takes a while for points to come through.
Hi you may want to add some info, first off you made the purchase July 7 not Augustus 7. 7/7 is July 7.. secondly it posted on august 21 because it post with all base points a month later. After next statement closes.
fixed date mixup, thanks.
