Are credit card points taxable? The answer is no. I can use my Amex, pay for a business trip, buy business equipment, business furniture, marketing expenses, spend $10,000 on a bunch of crap on Amex for business, take a tax write off and then have, let's say, 10,000 points out of that I can then a month later, a year later, whatever, take those 10,000 points and redeem them for a flight to Costa Rica. No tax. There is no tax. When you dream points. You can redeem it for a personal trip, for a business trip, for product or crap, whatever you want.
