American Express is out with many new Amex Offers today. We previously wrote about an Amex Offer for an extra 1x Membership Rewards points at many stores through December 31st. Another interesting offer that popped up today was for a $100 statement credit with $300 purchase at MR PORTER.
While I have not shopped at this merchant before, it seems like they carry a wide range of luxury/fashion goods and this offer would work on a vast array of products. One product caught my eye though: I see that they sell a GoPro HERO5 Session for exactly $300:
Or, if you’re looking for a full GoPro HERO5, they carry that for $400.
Shopping portals offer up to 6% cash back or 6 British Airways Avios per dollar at MR PORTER.
Note that with United’s current shopping portal promo, a purchase of the HERO5 would trigger the 1,000 mile bonus. Note that terms of MR PORTER cash back note that items “on sale” will either offer half the rewards (at most cash back portals) or nothing (at several mileage portals). These GoPro cameras do not appear to be on sale, so I would expect a full payout.
This would be a very good price on either camera after the Amex Offer. While I’m sure there are other products on the market with similar functionality, I have been very happy with my GoPro. My wife and I often say that it’s one of the best gifts that we never knew we wanted. While the GoPro is known for extreme sports video, we have found it very useful for general wide-angle photography when traveling — and its compact size and water resistance make it easy to carry without worry. It’s not perfect — but for the compact size and ease of use, it suits us well. Here are a few (disorganized) pictures we’ve taken with our GoPro in our travels:

[…] I wrote about a targeted Amex Offer that could be used to take $100 off the price of a GoPro (See: $100 off a GoPro with Amex Offer) — which, on the Hero5 Session is about a 33% savings. Yesterday, I noticed that MR PORTER, […]
My order is cancelled also
Love MR PORTER. Best website ever.
Went in for the GoPro, left with a whole new wardrobe. There are so many awesome brands on there from Nike to J.Crew, and great suits too. I think I’m hooked.

Bro forget the deal, those are some SOLID fuking pics and dope places!
“Unfortunately, this item will not be back in stock.”
So, they’re just not going to carry them anymore? Look what you did! 😛
This is a great deal. I had the 10,000 MR points offer on the Mercedes plat. I was just able to order the Session so it must be going in and out of stock (unless my order gets cancelled). Love the pics it took – thought it was really for video only, duh! I’ll be gifting to my sister who just had a baby. Thanks for posting this 🙂
Update – my order was cancelled.
shoot, sold out when I tried too. looks available until about to check out.
Just tried, says the Session and Black are both sold out
We have 4 cards among us (Hilton, Everyday, Goldminus) but none of them has PORTER 🙁
Which cards have it ?
I have an SPG personal card with it.
[…] 2x Membership Rewards points at a number of retailers through December 31st and a targeted $100 back on $300 or more at MR PORTER (we pointed out that a good use of this one would be for a GoPro). A third offer that is widely […]
Any idea if cash back/mileage portals are amenable for double dipping with a $300 Porter GC?
Sorry, I have no idea. Wish I knew — that would definitely sweeten the pot if it worked.
Are these offers always so targeted? 4 cards here, none of them have it, would love $100 off a GoPro since I’ve been thinking about buying one for a while now 🙁
I have an offer to Spend $300+, get 10,000 Membership Rewards® Points at the same store
That’s awesome!! Lucky you.
