Sell Amex Centurion Black Card Points for Cash

Reviewed by Joseph Hellman-Benjamin, Founder and CEO. Last reviewed: October 13, 2026. Editorial Policy

Can you sell Amex Centurion card points?

Yes. Centurion cards earn ordinary Membership Rewards points, and we buy them in balances of 50,000 or more, quoting 500,000 and up individually. The Membership Rewards terms prohibit selling, and American Express can remove points or cancel the card. We email a written price, you transfer, and we pay by PayPal, usually within 15 minutes.

Key facts (checked October 13, 2026)

  • Program: Membership Rewards, the same as other Amex cards
  • Amex rule: points may not be sold; points removed or card account canceled
  • Centurion fees, as reported: $10,000 initiation, $5,000 a year
  • Amex cash rate: about 0.6 cents; travel value 2.0 cents (The Points Guy, October 2026)
  • Our terms: 50,000 minimum; written price by email; you transfer first; PayPal, usually within 15 minutes

Before you sell: know the risk

Selling Membership Rewards points is against the Membership Rewards program terms. The terms say you can’t sell your points, and American Express can take points away or cancel your card account, which forfeits the points. We cannot promise how American Express will respond to a sale.

Price guarantee: the price per point we agree with you in writing by email is the price we pay once your points transfer is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions: Selling Amex Centurion Black Card Points

1. General Questions

  • What does it mean to “sell” my Amex Centurion points?
    • Selling your points involves transferring the value of your accumulated Membership Rewards to a third-party broker in exchange for a direct cash payment (by PayPal). Because Centurion members often spend millions of dollars annually, they accrue points at a rate far higher than they can realistically spend on personal travel. Selling allows you to turn that “digital currency” into liquid capital.
  • Is it legal to sell my Amex Black Card points?
  • How much are Centurion points worth in 2026?
    • Centurion points are ordinary Membership Rewards points, worth the same as points from any other Amex card. The Points Guy values them at 2.0 cents when transferred (October 2026), and American Express pays about 0.6 cents as a statement credit. We do not publish a rate; we email you a price in writing.

2. The Selling Process

  • How do I get a quote for my points?
    • Simply fill out the secure form on our “Sell Amex Points” page. You will need to provide your name, contact information, and the approximate number of points you wish to sell. For Centurion members, we quote high-volume requests (500,000+ points) individually.
  • What is the minimum number of points I can sell?
    • We require a minimum of 50,000 Membership Rewards points. However, most Centurion clients liquidate in blocks of 500,000 to 5,000,000 points to maximize their return.
  • How quickly will I receive my payment?
    • By PayPal. Most customers are paid within 15 minutes of completing the transfer.

3. Safety & Security

  • Will my Amex account be shut down?
    • It can. American Express can close an account it links to a sale, and the points go with it. See the risk box above.
  • Is my personal data secure?
    • The site is encrypted with SSL, and we do not share your data with third parties.

4. Hypothetical Scenarios & Numbers

“I have 2,000,000 points. What is the difference between Amex’s ‘Cover Your Charges’ and selling?”

  • Amex statement credit: about 0.6 cents a point, so about $12,000 in credit.

  • Travel value: The Points Guy values Membership Rewards at 2.0 cents when transferred (October 2026).

  • Selling: we do not publish a rate. We email you a price in writing for your balance, and the price we agree is the price we pay. Compare it with both numbers above.

  • Can I sell points if I just received my Black Card invitation?
    • Yes. Even if you are a new Centurion member, as long as you have a balance of 50,000+ points (likely carried over from your Platinum card), you are eligible to sell.

5. Taxes & Logistics

  • Do I have to pay taxes on the cash I receive?
    • We cannot give tax advice. Selling points for cash is not the same as redeeming them, so ask your CPA or tax advisor how a sale is treated in your case.
  • Do Amex Centurion points ever expire?
    • As long as your account is open and in good standing, your Membership Rewards points do not expire. This allows you to “bulk up” your points over several years to fetch a higher “bulk rate” when you eventually decide to sell.
