PAYBACK vs PAYBACK American Express

The free loyalty card and the payment card — what's the difference?

The PAYBACK card

A free loyalty card. You scan it (or the app) at participating partners and collect points on your purchase.

It doesn't pay for anything — it only tracks your points.

The PAYBACK American Express

A payment card. You earn PAYBACK points when you pay with it — including at places that aren't PAYBACK partners, wherever American Express is accepted.

Check the current fees, conditions and earn rates before applying.

Simple example

At a PAYBACK partner: show your PAYBACK card and pay with the PAYBACK Amex. You collect points from the loyalty card and from the payment.
