Mikimoto Akoya Cultured Pearl Stud Earrings, 6.5mm – Rewards from Membership Rewards First
by Mr Credit CardAs part of our occasional rewards highlight, today, we will focus on Membership Rewards First Program (which is available to Platinum and Centurion Cards holders). One of the available rewards is the Mikimoto Akoya Cultured Pearl Std Earnings (which is 6.5mm). You need 28,500 points.
So for the kicks of it, I went to the Mikimoto website and found the same product. It was listed at $300 for a white gold and grade A+ pearl. If you take the AA grade, the price is $380.
All I can say is that based on the price of $300 and the points required (28,500), it is actually a pretty fair deal and I wouldn’t mind redeeming this from my Amex Points.

Now if you really wanted to get something nice, after months of research, I chose Pearl Paradise to order a pearl set of necklace/earrings/bracelet of the freshadamas.
With the amount of research I’ve done into the true vs retail cost of different brands of pearls, I can say that I would never buy a Mikimoto pearl necklace… you would not believe the markup that they do. Seriously.
