Earning Brex points

OverviewEarning pointsPoints earned on an expense

Overview

You’ll start earning Brex points for expenses made on your Brex card that meet certain criteria. After you’ve accumulated enough points, you can start redeeming them towards any one of our numerous rewards. Your Brex points will never expire as long as your Brex account is active — you don't have to use them in a certain timeframe. Unlike other card programs, Brex rewards multipliers are unlimited. As you grow, you'll keep earning the maximum number of points.


Earning points

Different types of expenses made on your Brex card may or may not earn points. The general criteria for whether or not any given expense will earn points is outlined below. For more in-depth information, you can also see our Rewards terms.

What earns you points

You’ll earn points for the following:

  • USD-denominated transactions made with merchants in the US using your Brex cards.
    • This is not limited by card type — transactions made on both physical and virtual cards will earn points.
  • Bookings made through Brex travel (flights and prepaid hotels only)
    • Unless otherwise specified in your contract, you will earn 4x points on flights and hotel bookings made with Brex travel and prepaid with your Brex card. Points will be granted after the trip is completed.
    • For any other bookings on your Brex card, you’ll earn one point per $1 spent.
    • International bookings processed as international purchases are not eligible for points.
  • Bills paid in USD by one-time virtual cards

What doesn't earn you points

Transfers through your Brex business account such as ACH, wires, or sending/depositing checks.
