Anyone still looking to use the semi-annual Saks Fifth Avenue credit from a consumer Platinum card may be interested in today’s Cyber Monday sale as it offers $50 off every $200 or 15% off of beauty / grooming. Stack that with 15x / 15% back from Rakuten to stretch your value a bit further.
The Deal
- Saks Fifth Avenue is offering a couple of coupon codes for Cyber Monday which stack nicely with 15x from Rakuten:

Quick Thoughts
Saks is obviously on the pricey end of the spectrum, but I’ve used some of our credits in the past for beauty / grooming items, whether skin care for my wife or the Jack Black shave oil that I’ve been using for many years. Getting 15% off those things means we can stretch the $50 semi-annual credit (which is available once from January to June and once from July to December on consumer Platinum cards) to buy a bit more.
In fact, this will work out well for me. That Jack Black shave oil that I use (and need to restock) typically costs the same $35 anywhere I buy it. With the 15% off code, two bottles comes to $59.50 — and it even comes with a free gift with $20 purchase. That works out to less than I’d ordinarily pay for this even before considering 15x Membership Rewards points from Rakuten and the $50 Platinum card credit.
We have a few Platinum cards in my household and will likely also get some gifts from the beauty section with today’s sale.

Hopefully this will also stack with the Amex Offer for $50 back on a Saks purchase of $250. If so, here’s how I did. Three Ralph Lauren Polo shirts @ $95 each plus a pair of Paul Smith socks @ $21 (on sale) = $306. Used code for $50 off = $256. After 15% cash back from Rakuten = $217.60. $50 semi-annual Amex Platinum Saks credit takes it down to $167.60. $50 Amex Offer (which hopefully applies on the amount charged, disregarding the semi-annual credit) gets me to a final net of $117.60.
Just to follow up, all of the credits posted, so this was a phenomenal deal. More than 60% off!
Hi Nick, I know this is not a travel question but, nevertheless, it is an important one. My son has a heavy beard and his skin gets irritated often when he shaves. Does the shave oil that you use help with that?
Honestly, I couldn’t say for sure. I do like the way the oil feels and I like the fact that it’s clear so I can see what I’m doing clearly. My skin doesn’t get irritated, but I’ve been using this for so long that I don’t have a great reference point as to how irritated it used to get. Actually, I kind of take that back: I forgot to bring it on the trip I’m on right now and I used conditioner the other day and my skin got very irritated by that, so I’ll be happy for this order to arrive ASAP :-D.
