Saving money or earning bonus points by using the right rewards credit card always feels good, and it’s even sweeter when it’s on a purchase you’d have to make anyway.
I love
One of those benefits, available with virtually every Amex card but not the most widely known, is Amex Offers. In the past couple of years, I’ve used offers to save money on purchases from J.Crew, Instacart, and FreshDirect, and to earn bonus points at Amazon.
The latest round of Amex Offers includes discounts and bonus points for online shopping, gas purchases, streaming services, and hotel stays. Check your accounts, as there are many more new offers available.
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 users and each user’s specific cards. That means that you and I might get different offers, and I might even see different offers across my 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, I have a few offers for shops and restaurants that have a New York City location.
Current Amex Offers
Here are some of the particularly interesting Amex Offers currently available. Keep in mind that each has an expiration date, and some are specifically targeted. Be sure to double-check restrictions, too – some offers only work for online purchases, or in the US.

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 some different offers on each card, there will also be some overlap.
