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.
