Now through September 30, 2022, there is a 20% transfer bonus points from American Express Membership Rewards to Club Premier. Club Premier is the frequent flyer program of Aeromexico. Aeromexico's Club Premier allows members to redeem points for travel on SkyTeam partners, as well as other non-alliance partners.
Here are the details of this limited-time promotion.
Aeromexico 20% Transfer Bonus Details
American Express Membership Rewards points typically transfer over to Aeromexico Club Premier at a 1 to 1.6 ratio: 1,000 Membership Rewards points typically equal 1,600 Club Premier points. For a limited time, however, 1,000 Membership Rewards will get you 1,920 Aeromexico Club Premier points after a transfer bonus.
This offer is available to anyone with a card that earns Membership Rewards points. This includes The Platinum Card® from American Express and the American Express® Gold Card. You’ll need to have an active Aeromexico Club Premier account. If you don’t have a Club Premier account, you can sign-up for an account here.
To transfer your Membership Rewards points over to Club Premier, you’ll need to link the two accounts. To link your American Express account with your Aeromexico Club Premier account, all you’ll need is your Club Premier number. Once linked, you can begin taking advantage of this promotion. It is important to keep in mind that transfers can take up to two days to process.
This Aeromexico transfer bonus was launched on September 1, 2022. But, you still have a couple of weeks to transfer your Membership Rewards over to your Club Premier account, as the transfer bonus ends September 30, 2022. There is no limit to the number of points that can be transferred to Club Premier. Each transfer does require cardholders to transfer a minimum of 1,000 Membership Rewards points to their Club Premier account.
Award Travel with Club Premier
Aeromexico’s Club Premier is somewhat of an underrated frequent flyer program. This program gives members access to the entire network of SkyTeam affiliates. Additionally, there are some other partner airlines for which members can redeem their miles, including Avianca and Copa.

As a SkyTeam affiliate, this means that members can redeem their miles for flights on Delta, Air France, KLM, and Korean Air — among others. Club Premier points can be redeemed for award travel with SkyTeam partners for travel in both economy and business class.
Unfortunately, it appears as though finding saver business class award space will be quite the challenge. If you're lucky enough to find saver space in a premium cabin, Aeromexico's award pricing is relatively competitive. However, full-fare business class awards are significantly more expensive than economy class awards.

Aeromexico Premier Points Expiration Policy
Your Aeromexico Premier Points will expire 24 months after the date that you earned them unless you have accrual activity on your account. Thankfully, you can keep your balance active by doing things like taking a flight with Aeromexico, flying with partner airlines, booking a cruise through the Aeromexico cruise portal, and more. Click here for the full list. It's important to note, however, that redemption activity or transferring points in your family doesn't count towards resetting the expiration deadline of your Premier Points.
Fortunately, you are able to reinstate your points after they expire. But, there is a hefty fee and a designated timeframe that accompanies reinstating your Aeromexico Premier Points. You are only able to reinstate points that have expired in the past 12 months. Reinstating your points costs $9 per 1,000 points. In addition, there's also the cost of 400 pesos/~$20 administration fee. Due to these expenses and fees, we recommend staying up to date on the expiration deadline of your points.
The Bottom Line
Ultimately, Aeromexico Club Premier is a great way to book award travel on SkyTeam partners.
Now through September 30, you will receive a 20% transfer bonus on all Membership Rewards transferred to Aeromexico Club Premier. In short, all you have to do is link your American Express account with your Club Premier account.
Once you’ve linked accounts, you can begin transferring Membership Rewards points to your Club Premier account. Remember, you'll want to allow for up to two days for all transfers.

Very interesting!
The one major problem with Aeromexico is that if you change your mind after booking an award, for any reason, Aeromexico will let you change travel dates and times only, for up to a year, otherwise you lose your points. According to their posted terms and conditions. Delta and Air France/KLM programs allow changes to the itinerary, as well as redepositing your points (fees might apply). I had a situation where I had to change an Air France award ticket from Paris at the last minute, and the only rebooking alternative available without transferring additional points was to change my flight to a London departure (on Delta), which was no problem with just a phone call to Flying Blue. Also had a situation where I had a Korean Air biz class booking with Skymiles, and First Class became available, but through Korean Air’s own program (transferred Chase points for that at that time) and redeposited my SkyMiles, which I still have not used. Had either of those been through Aeromexico, I would not have been able to make changes like those, and would have had to hope I would get another chance to fly the EXACT same routes within a year to avoid losing the points.
Stephen – I’m not seeing that in the terms. When I go here (https://www.clubpremier.com/us/about-us/award-tickets/award-ticket/) I see that they have different types of awards. The first says “Subject to availability for the selected fare class.” The other type says it depends on the fare type, there’s a a change fee, you will pay the fare difference (if any) after changes, and digging into other pages of their terms says nothing about what you’ve mentioned. Can you tell me where you are seeing that you must keep the route and must fly it within a year/no miles redeposits allowed?
Ryan, sorry I did not get a chance to reply sooner. I went back to search for the Terms and Conditions page restricting changes to the same itinerary, but could not find it. Apparently, my information on the Club Premier award ticket change policy is out of date.
For the past 40 years, I have always thought and still do believe, Aeromexico has been and still is the premier airline of Mexico. I have flown all over Mexico and to and from several places inside the United States, using them. The service has always been good and its aircraft are well maintained.
