American Express announced that, for some co-branded cards, business-related payments will be excluded from points accumulation starting October 28.
The affected cards are the Hilton Honors American Express Card, Hilton Honors American Express Premium Card, ANA American Express Card, ANA American Express Gold Card, ANA American Express Premium Card, Delta Skymiles American Express Card, and Delta Skymiles American Express Gold Card.
Examples of payments that will be excluded from points accumulation include medical devices and supplies, transportation-related costs, office supplies, construction materials, advertising expenses, dental materials, wholesale food and liquor, automobile parts, veterinary drugs, agricultural materials and machinery, and beauty salon equipment.
Card payments at merchants excluded from points accumulation will still be possible, and such transactions will count towards the qualifying spend needed to utilize card benefits.
