[EXPIRED] New offer for 5x at Sam’s Club (up to 1500 additional points) [Targeted]

There is a nice new Amex Offer out to earn 5x in-store at Sam’s Club – up to a total of 1500 additional Membership Rewards points. Greg found this offer on an Amex Everyday card, but my wife did not get the offer on her Everyday Preferred (in fact, we didn’t get this offer on any of our cards in my household).

The Offer

• Get 5x Membership Rewards points for purchases in-store at Sam’s Club by 12/31/17 (up to 1500 extra points)

Key Terms

• Expires 12/31/17
• Not valid online
• Not valid on gas purchases

Quick Thoughts

I’ll admit to being extremely disappointed not to see the return of last year’s monster 20% back that provided up to a $250 statement credit on each card linked with the offer. That said, I’d still be happy to take 5x at Sam’s Club if I could get it….unfortunately, I wasn’t targeted on my cards. As pointed out by lz80521 in the comments, the wording indicates that you will earn 4x in addition to your normal earnings — up to 1500 additional points. That means you’ll earn a total of 5x on up to $375 in spend (375 points at 1x and then 375 x 4 bonus points = 1500 additional points). If you did receive this offer, remember that it is valid in-store only and not valid on gas. With the variety of discounted gift cards that Sam’s Club sells, it shouldn’t be hard to max this one out even if you don’t need a 10-pack of hamburger helper.
