American Express Cobalt™ Card Confirmed Multiplier Locations
See where in the world you can earn 5x, 3x, 2x and 1x points with the best credit card in Canada
Last Updated on February 7, 2023
Back in 2017 one of our readers asked us a question via the comments on our post Two months in and the American Express Cobalt is living up to its name to see if there is a published list of where you can maximize spending on the Cobalt card via the 5x Multiplier locations.
We replied that there was not a published list but would be willing to put one together with the help of our readers. And that's how this feature came to life. Now, nearly six years later it has become one of the most popular features on Rewards Canada and thanks to our community, the list is one of the most comprehensive that you'll find - not only in terms of multipliers for the Cobalt Card but as a resource to see where Amex cards in general are accepted!
Searchable and sortable data
In February 2023 the feature received a major update as we moved away from a simple list format to searchable and sortable tables which makes it much easier to find locations! As well the listings are no longer separated by points earning but rather are now split into three sections: Canada, the United States and the rest of the World. Please note that merchants may change at any time so while a merchant may be listed in one category when you read this page it is entirely possible that they switch categories before we are able to update it.

Quick Tips for the new tables!
- !! Mobile Users !!: If you are viewing this page on mobile we recommend clicking the toggle icon so that the data is shown in card view
- You can search any data you like, the merchant name (ie East Side Marios), city (ie Vancouver) and so forth!
- If your desired result doesn't display, it doesn't necessarily mean the merchant does not accept Amex. It could very well be that no one from the Rewards Canada community has shopped there and/or contributed it for us to add here. That means you can be the first do so!
- If you have sorted your search data and want to return to the initial results simply click on the refresh icon
- To reset the entire table simply clear the search box of any text

Amex Shop Small Website
Another option to find merchants is to check American Express Canada's Shop Small website - it lists all their independent merchants where you can use your American Express cards at. It doesn't tell you what category they fall under but in most cases the restaurants, bars and grocery stores should fall under the Eats & Drink category.
