Abbreviations outside the glossary
 
Hi, I hope someone could help me in understanding what 1x or 3x means

In what context? For points, 3x would be 3 times the normal # of points, and 1x would just be the normal amount.

It's standard mathematical notation for one times something or three times something. What is the "something?" That depends on context, as the meaning of so many things does in English. If you could give us some context, we'd be more able to help. Without it, we're just guessing. The guess in the previous post might be right, or it might not be.

Here's an example from an American Express credit card promotion:

It'll reward you in more ways than before with 3X Membership RewardsŪ points on travel, including transit, and at restaurants worldwide.

In other words, for travel-related purchases you will not earn just the standard "one point for one dollar spent".
