Read Insider’s guide to the best American Express credit cards.
American Express issues some of the most valuable co-branded credit cards in the travel world. If (nearly) free travel using airline miles or hotel points is important to you, you should familiarize yourself with cards such as:
Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card — Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® CardHilton Honors American Express Aspire Card — Hilton Honors American Express Aspire CardDelta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card — Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card
These cards all come with welcome bonuses that offer a boatload of points — potentially thousands of dollars worth of travel.
During the next few weeks, American Express will be rolling out more tools to better keep an eye on the points you earn and redeem with Delta, Hilton, and Marriott cards. Those who collect Amex Membership Rewards points will find these to be familiar. Amex is an Insider partner.
Here’s what you need to know about these improvements.
We’re focused here on the rewards and perks that come with each card. These cards won’t be worth it if you’re paying interest or late fees. When using a credit card, it’s important to pay your balance in full each month, make payments on time, and only spend what you can afford to pay.
2 new features added to Amex co-branded travel credit cards
Upgraded rewards summary
When you view your online account, you’ll now see a new “Rewards & Benefits” section with your Delta, Hilton, and Marriott cards. This gives you a quick and digestible view of how many points you’ve earned from each purchase after they post. In other words, you won’t need to wait until your statement end date to view the number of points you’ve accrued during the past month.
This doesn’t mean your points will be available sooner — it just gives you a better idea of what will be deposited into your loyalty account each month.
You can view Amex’s new “Rewards and Benefits” section in your online account via desktop or app.

Bottom line
American Express is bringing the helpfulness of its lauded Membership Rewards dashboard to other co-branded travel credit cards. This will help you to keep an eye on your earning, redeeming, and spending requirements to unlock various card benefits.
