Man, AMEX is really going all out this holiday season!

So just charge cards are eligible though for this.  Business cards should be good to go as it doesn't exclude American Express OPEN cards like the Dell deal does.

I just received an email promo for Amex gold 10x points if charge $25 in store at any dunkin donuts. So is it a safe assumption that for $25 spent at dd at an nyc airport ill receive $20 credit and 250 points? Essentially your paying $5 for 230 bonus points - bc you get 20 points for spending the free $20 anyway. Not debating whether its worth 2 cents a point but just whether amex will roll both promotions?

(terms for dd 10x points offer are as follows: Dunkin' Donuts offer valid 12/16/10 to 1/31/11. To be eligible to receive bonus points, you must be enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program ("Program") at the time of purchase and you must charge your purchase on an eligible, enrolled American Express® Card. Bonus points will be credited to your Program account within 6-8 weeks after charges appear on your billing statement. Individual terms and conditions, as well as annual Program fees, apply for certain Card products. For more information on the Program, visit membershiprewards.com or call 1-800-AXP-EARN. Bonus ID 5604. Offer eligible in store only.)

It says straight out in the terms you quoted:

Your ability to earn rewards may be based on the amount of your purchase after the statement credit has been applied.

Thanks for the catch. I read that a few times and missed it!

Of course, you only get points for the amount you're billed on your statement.

Brookstone @ LGA

Also, I spoke with a CSR at Amex who said that it was per card not per account.
