Key Points:

- American Express does not allow point transfers between different cardmembers’ Membership Rewards accounts, and legitimate methods to gift points generally require the recipient’s involvement; historical workarounds existed but were limited and regulated.
- Documents reveal Epstein had extensive contact with Kathryn Ruemmler, former Goldman Sachs and White House counsel, including meetings, emails, and gifts such as $10,000 in gift cards, flowers, one million Amex points, and a Hermès bag.
- Plaza Premium and Plaza Premium First lounges are opening at Dallas
