No, Amex points do not transfer directly to American Airlines.
Amex Membership Rewards points can’t be transferred to American Airlines AAdvantage. Instead, they can be transferred to a variety of airline partners, but American Airlines is not one of them.
If you’re looking to use your Amex points for American Airlines flights, you might consider transferring them to a partner airline that has an alliance with American Airlines. For instance, you can transfer to British Airways or Iberia and use their points to book American Airlines flights.
Another option is to book directly through the Amex Travel portal. You can use your points to purchase American Airlines flights without needing to transfer them.
Keep in mind that using points for flights booked through the Amex Travel portal might not offer the best value compared to transferring to partner airlines.
Researching your options can help you maximize the value of your Amex points.
