Death of a Reward Holder
 

Does anyone know what happens to your rewards when you die? My wife uses my rewards all the time. Can she keep doing this if I am dead?

shes authorized to [make] MR transactions? thats all you need to do.

edited to fix :D

I'm not sure about that. If I recall the T&Cs, she may not be able to. But I don't have them in front of me.

Best of luck.

I was an authorized user on my fathers cards when he passed away. I also have my own AMEX cards. I called them and they put the cards in my name and sent me new cards. I didn't lose any of the rewards.

I'm sure they did this because there was a balance on one of the cards which I am now responsible for. I would have paid it off anyway but they didn't know this.

if someone is an authorized user, and authorized to use MR, i would think they would be given the option of becoming primary upon death of the primary..

unless there is a balance, and then it would automatically go to either authorized user or those specified in the will/etc, right?

Personal Experience
 

My father passed away years ago, and my mother was a secondary card holder on his Amex account. I believe she may have had to fax Amex a death certificate (but I think the process was rather seemless)...we subsequently used the points to go to Europe several times
