Aeromexico Rewards Devaluation History

By Bryce Casson, Founder · Cardocrat · Updated August 2026
The short answer: Aeromexico rebranded Club Premier as Aeromexico Rewards and switched from a distance-based earning chart to a revenue-based model, awarding about 8 points per dollar of base fare. Redemptions moved largely to dynamic pricing, and most of the old partner sweet spots, especially premium-cabin awards on partners, are gone. A limited Classic award chart survives for some routes to and from Mexico.

From Club Premier to revenue-based Rewards

For years Aeromexico Club Premier awarded kilometers on a distance-based chart, earning anywhere from 25 to 200 percent of distance flown depending on fare and route, and it had some genuine partner sweet spots. The rebranded Aeromexico Rewards replaced that with a simpler revenue-based system, where basic members earn about 8 points per dollar of base fare, taxes and fees excluded. As with every revenue switch, cheap fares now earn far fewer points than the old distance model.

Dynamic pricing guts the sweet spots

On the redemption side, Aeromexico Rewards now uses two models: a limited number of Classic award tickets with a published chart for routes to and from Mexico, and more widely available dynamic-fare awards priced by availability, the cash price, and the route. The dynamic shift hit partner redemptions hard, and observers note that Aeromexico devalued partner premium-cabin awards about as far as possible, leaving few of the deals that once made the program interesting.

What remains

Aeromexico Rewards is a transfer partner of Amex, Citi, and Capital One, so points are easy to acquire, and the Classic chart still offers value on select Mexico routes when award space is open. But the program is no longer a source of outsized partner redemptions. Transfer in only for a specific Classic award you have confirmed, and treat the dynamic awards as cash-priced.

Frequently asked questions

Did Aeromexico devalue its program?
Yes. Rebranding Club Premier as Aeromexico Rewards, it switched from distance-based to revenue-based earning, about 8 points per dollar of base fare, and moved most redemptions to dynamic pricing, eliminating the bulk of its old partner sweet spots.
How do you earn Aeromexico Rewards points now?
Based on spending, roughly 8 points per dollar of base fare for basic members, with taxes and fees excluded. The old distance-based earning, which paid 25 to 200 percent of distance flown, is gone.
Does Aeromexico still have an award chart?
Partly. A limited number of Classic award tickets still use a published chart for routes to and from Mexico, but most awards are now dynamically priced by availability and cash price, especially on partners.
Are Aeromexico Rewards points worth collecting?
Mainly for the limited Classic awards on Mexico routes, where value remains. As a transfer partner of Amex, Citi, and Capital One, points are easy to get, but the partner sweet spots are gone, so transfer only for a confirmed Classic award.
