Do this first
Confirm award space on EuroBonus BEFORE you transfer
Transfers are final and cannot be reversed. Open EuroBonus's site in another tab, sign in, and load the exact flight you want at the points price you expect. Come back only when you're ready to redeem.
Open EuroBonus award search →What you should know
You need a free EuroBonus account
Amex MR asks for your EuroBonus member number during the transfer. Sign up takes a minute and costs nothing.
Create EuroBonus account →Minimum transfer: 1,000 Amex MR points
You can't transfer less than 1,000, and transfers must be in increments of 1,000.
Instant — usually under a minute
This transfer pair is marked instant and typically posts within seconds to a few minutes. Even so, occasional system delays happen — wait until you see the points in your destination account before doing anything else. These are typical times, not guarantees — always confirm award space first because transfers can't be reversed.

Points expiration
Amex MR: Membership Rewards points never expire as long as you have at least one Amex card open and in good standing.

Heads up: your Amex MR points don't expire, but EuroBonus points (after transfer) do.
