Amex Offers Discussion Thread

[Mootkim]

In the terms for the offer it says to for purchases on "readyrefresh.com", will this work for the monthly payment, which is charged automatically?

Yes

[marky]

Offer: Spend $500 or more, get $125 back Waldorf Astoria & Conrad
In the T&C "Offer only valid on room rate and room charges."
Does that include resort fees and taxes?
Would a room charge of $450 but $550 after fees and taxes trigger the credit?

Thanks

Check to see if you're targeted for 6 additional pts (total of 8 pts) when shopping on Amazon, Walmart or Target -(was targeted on 1 of my Bonvoy cards)

If I use the amex 40pc off offer on amazon and then return the item, do I get the offer back?

Maybe Amazon can put the refund onto an Amazon GC, rather than back on your card?

How does that help?

I wasn't sure which offer he was talking about, but I figured it was an Amex offer being the thread we're on. But now that you say that, I guess he's referring to an offer from Amazon, which you're right, that wouldn't help.
I try to only use the promos on items that I know I'll keep, for that reason. Also annoying that Amazon doesn't let you select which promo to use. Sometimes you want to use one that expires sooner, and even worse, sometimes you're forced to use your promo if you want to buy an item with a coupon attached to it.
Only advice would be to call and tell them what happened, and they'll probably issue a courtesy credit.

Thanks all for ur input

No. It happened to me in one account, had to return an item (it was a clothing item) and did NOT get the 30% offer back. Next time, I have to be more strategic with these kinds of offers ... need to only buy things that I am sure I'll be keeping.

Get 7,000 Membership Rewards® Membership Rewards® points by using your enrolled Business Card to spend a minimum of $4,500+ in one or more eligible transactions, up to 3 times during the offer term. Once you add the offer to your eligible Card, you will have 90 days to spend $4,500 or more. See terms for exclusions.
Expires 01/31/2021.

Can someone clarify if this must be $4,500 in a single transaction, or just $4,500 over the 90 day period?

Also, do any returns or credits deduct from the $4,500 spend?

Each time you make one or more eligible transactions totaling at least $4,500+, you will receive 7,000 Membership Rewards® additional Membership Rewards points, up to 3 times.

a minimum of $4,500+ in one or more

ofcoures don't try that with amex or they will claw back

I wasn't certain if they're referring to spending over $4,500 one or more times (up to 3), or if multiple transactions can add up to that (and I'm still not clear).

Don't try what, returns? I'm not trying to play games with it, but I happen to have some high-dollar returns/credits from items that were purchased before I even activated the offer, plus I'm expecting a large purchase protection credit in the coming days.

If you return anything then you risk amex clawing back
Unless you spend enough to cover the return

I take it that includes my scenarios I listed above (and not just returns of new purchases)?
And please ELI5 and confirm that the $4,500 spend can be split across multiple transactions.

Yup

Anyone still see the Marriott $75 off $250 offer? Didn't save it and don't see it now.

[ShimshonK]

Yup

Lol, thanks @Joel
