A few new Amex Offers have come out over the past several days – some of which offer a lot of value (up to 10,000 Membership Rewards Points). Each of these appears targeted. Here is a sampling of a few I found today and over the past week that might be of interest:
Amex Travel: Spend $500, get 10,000 Membership Rewards points
Note: The terms state that this is valid for a prepaid hotel booking at AmexTravel, and it excludes Fine Hotels & Resorts.
Hulu: Spend $50, get a $50 statement credit
Note: There was previously an offer valid through February 2018, but this new offer is valid through May 23, 2018.
Etsy: Spend $50, get $15 back
Note: I saw this one last week and didn’t post it. However, several members of the Frequent Miler Insiders expressed enthusiasm for it, so I am including it here for anyone who hasn’t yet noticed it.
Hilton: Spend $300, get 3,500 Membership Rewards points
Note: The terms state that advance purchase rates do not qualify. However, I think it’s possible that this could stack with the Amex Offer we included in this post as that offer is a promo code — I think you might be able to book with that code and pay with a card showing this offer at checkout and stack both discounts. Double check the terms of both offers.
Bottom line
These are just a few of the new Amex Offers that have come out that might be of particular interest. Check your account for these and more. While I rarely consider a prepaid hotel booking, it’s hard to ignore the value of the rebate on the Amex Travel offer – especially as my wife received the offer and she has a card that is still eligible for the higher Business Platinum pay-with-points rebate. Even without that, 10K points is a nice return on $500 spend.

[…] Frequent Miler, there is a new list of AMEX Offers available for merchants like Etsy, Hilton, Hulu, and […]
I have 3 different Hilton offers on my everyday card; 300+ spend 3500pts, 5000pts for weekend stay, and spend 500+ get $100 back @ UK pproperties. I have a stay coming up for the London Bankside in August. Do you think all three offers will stack? I would have to use the everyday card and pay those foreign transaction fees if not.
My Personal Plat had the Amex Travel offer as 7500 pts for $500 spend, same restrictions prepaid hotel only. No Hulu. Boooo
I had that same offer on my Everyday Preferred card. I think I’ll pass.
[…] is a new offer available now with a new expiry date. Thanks to FM for making me aware of this new […]
I had Lowes $10 back on $50 but on just one of my about 37 cards.
That Amextravel offer being only for hotels is a turn off. I mean it’s already a turn off that you don’t earn hotel points.
If they want me to book my flights with them, then they should include flights. Cheapest Business class ticket YYZ-SFO on google flights for 10/21 is $417. That flight is not even available on Amex travel, and cheapest there is $497. KOA-SFO economy on 10/21 – google has the cheapest at $330 but Amex’s cheapest flight is $402.
Agreed that I wish it would work towards flights (and then Amex Travel listed more flights). On the other hand, I value 10K MR (+ points earned on the EDP used to pay) at well beyond what I’d earn on $500 spend in most hotel chains. Even with Hilton’s Go More Get More giving 30X for Diamond Members + 12X for using the Hilton CC, that’s about 21,000 Hilton points. I’d take the Membership Rewards points over that.
Of course, the bummer is losing elite benefits. I wouldn’t normally consider booking prepaid through Amex Travel. 10K MR might be enough to tempt me.
Is Hulu targeted? I want that one, but didn’t see it on any of 12 cards. Is there a twitter link?
Yes, all of these appear to be targeted — I should have included that in the post originally (have updated).
I found:
Amex Travel on an Everyday Preferred
Hulu: One Business Platinum (an AU on a card of mine, but didn’t get it on the primary)
Etsy on all of my Amex cards, business and personal, Membership Rewards and hotel points cards
Hilton: Amex Business Platinums & Everyday Preferred
I don’t imagine they are limited to those kinds of cards, but that’s where I found them.
Any clue what cards are eligible? Delta Platinum and Optima Platinum don’t appear to offer the Hulu promo.
