You can save money or earn bonus rewards when you enroll your card in targeted Amex Offers and make a qualifying purchase.

Saving money or earning bonus points, miles, or cash back by using the right rewards credit card always feels good, and it’s even more satisfying when it’s on a purchase you’d have to make anyway.

I love The Platinum Card® from American Express for valuable perks like airport lounge access and new credits for things like digital subscriptions**, CLEAR**, Equinox**, Walmart+ membership**, and prepaid hotels through Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts and The Hotel Collection**. 

One of those benefits, available with virtually every American Express card but not the most widely known, is Amex Offers. In the past few years, I’ve used offers to save money on purchases at Hilton hotels, Instacart, and Boxed, and to earn bonus points at Amazon.

The latest round of Amex Offers includes bonus points and discounts at popular online stores and on tax services, hotels, flowers, and gifts. Check your accounts, because there are many more new offers available.

We’re focused here on the rewards and perks that come with each card. These cards won’t be worth it if you’re paying interest or late fees. When using a credit card, it’s important to pay your balance in full each month, make payments on time, and only spend what you can afford to pay.

What are Amex Offers?

The Amex Offers program provides cardholders with discounts at various stores, restaurants, and services, or, if not a discount, then chances to earn extra points.

The interesting part of the program is that each offer is specifically targeted to individual cardholders and specific cards. That means that you and I might get different offers, and you might even see different offers across several different Amex cards. That adds a real benefit to having multiple Amex cards — even if you just use them to be eligible for more offers, you have a better chance of getting good ones.

One of the appeals of the Amex Offers program is that the offers continuously change. Offers can be for national brands, but are also targeted based on your billing address — for example, Amex often includes Shop Small offers at small businesses close to your location.

You might also find seasonal offers popping up occasionally. For example, close to Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, there are often Amex Offers to save on flowers and gifts. And around the holidays, it’s not unusual to see more offers geared to online shopping and entertaining.

How to find your Amex Offers

Log in to your online Amex account.You’ll see icons in the top right for each of the cards you hold — click which one you want to find offers for.Once you’re viewing the correct card, scroll down on the main account page. Keep scrolling and click “View All” to see all available offers on that card.When you find one you want to use, click “Add to Card.” If you want to confirm that it’s been activated, click the “Added to Card” tab.Repeat for each card you have.

In the Amex app, just click the “Offers” button at the bottom, and follow the same steps.

It’s important to note that many offers have expiration dates, so be sure to keep an eye on them to make sure that you use them in time. Also remember that while you’ll get different offers on each card, there will also be some overlap.

Amex Offers frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Advertisements

Which American Express cards are eligible for Amex Offers?

All personal and small-business American Express cards issued in the US are eligible for Amex Offers, including third-party issued cards (such as American Express-branded cards issued by other banks). Registered Serve and Bluebird cards qualify as well.

American Express corporate cards, gift cards, and prepaid cards are not eligible.

Can authorized users get Amex Offers?

Advertisements

Yes, authorized users can access Amex Offers through their accounts and add them to their cards.

How many Amex Offers can you get?

By default, Amex will show you up to 100 available Amex Offers per card. But when you add offers to your card, new ones will often (not always) appear up to a maximum of 100 showing per account. 

There’s no limit to the number of available offers you can add to your account. 

Do Amex Offers include tax?

Advertisements

Yes, the Amex Offer will trigger based on the total amount charged to your card at the qualifying merchant, including tax.

How often do Amex Offers change?

New Amex Offers are added to accounts nearly all the time, but there’s no schedule or regular frequency. 

Is there a way to get targeted for specific offers?

Advertisements

Amex doesn’t reveal how it targets cardholders for specific offers — and there’s no way to “force” Amex to target you for an offer. Adding offers to your card will usually make new ones appear, so you might get lucky.

Can you “stack” Amex Offers with shopping portal bonuses?

Usually, it’s possible to stack Amex Offers with cash back or points from an online shopping portal. You’ll also still earn rewards (points, miles, or cash back) with your card as you normally would.
