Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone has ever used american express rewards points to get a new club that they wanted and how long it ended up taking.

I've been thinking about it because I've got enough to get myself a nice fairway wood. Let me know your experiences.
R7 Superquad 10.5* REAX regular flex shaft
FT 5 wood
675XC forged irons 3-PW, True Temper DG SL stiff(S300) shafts
55* BeCu sandwedge
e6+ balls or ProV1
Cougar X-cat putter (odyssey 2-ball rip-off)

Got my Scotty Red X and one of those weighted training drivers (Momentus I think) using AE points. Each time I got a call from a agent verifying my shipping address and order and then gave me an approximate delivery date. Worked very well and because I use AE for everything, points are accumulating; I'll do it all over again.

Pretty much every club I have I have gotten from my AMEX rewards. The Taylormade and Callaway stuff you usually get within a week and a half, where the Titelist stuff usually takes close to 3 weeks. On most items they send you a certificate and you call and redeem it, I usually get the certificate within a few days of oredering it.

My dad has PNC and his points are adding up. I'm not really sure how it works, but I looked on their and he doesn't have enough just yet for any golf clubs...but I saw that golf clubs were avb. Once he gets enough I'm going to grab the Scotty Cameron.

Putter 33" Scotty Cameron Studio Select #2


hey, thanks for the replies. Sounds like it's not really a headache at all.

I think i'm going to go ahead and get myself a Callaway FT 5 wood and a dozen ProV1's!!

Amex usually makes everything easy, sometimes the site doesnt work, but you can just call.

    • Day 2 March 13th, 2025 Hit a small bucket checking stuff on video. Mostly back to controlling swing length and right elbow. 
    • Video 1 of 2025 Lower body is better. Right knee kicks out less. Left knee straightens better. I don’t have that knee bounce post impact. Backswing and downswing with the arms, needs a bit of work. Nice OTT move there. Video 2 of 2025 - hey I can keep it short.  back to trying to keep the swing shorter and control the right elbow. Lots of half backswing feel and very straight arms. Also trying to start the downswing sooner so the swing doesn’t go on forever with the turn. Got to limit it to 90 degrees shoulder and 45 degrees hips. 
    • Day 236: did a stack session.
    • Day 164 - 2025-03-13 Got the new QuadMAX. Didn't get a chance to test it, but got to Golf Evolution about 45 minutes before lessons, so I did some backswing and downswing work in.
    • @klineka has already addressed this stuff, but as I said in my first answer… distance control is typically more important. Knowing exactly how far a ball will carry is huge.
