Quick Thoughts
While the statement credits aren’t overly generous, these could still be some useful Amex Offers, especially if they stack with other Amex Offers.
For example, some Amex business cards (e.g. Hilton, Marriott & Delta) currently have an Amex Offer giving $10, $15 or $20 in statement credits each month when paying your cell phone bill, so the $5 statement credit from this new $125+ Amex Offer should stack with that provided your cell phone bill is high enough. Note that the $125 is cumulative, so if your bill is $65 per month you’ll get a $5 statement credit every two months.
The insurance payment Amex Offer can also come in handy seeing as very few cards offer insurance payments as a bonus category, so earning 5% back is a decent bonus unless you’d be better off putting that spend on a card where you’re working on a minimum spend requirement.

Do all kinds of insurance qualify?
I wasn’t targeted for that offer and so I’m not sure. If you have it on one of your cards, the terms will state if it’s only valid on certain types of insurance.
Could always prepay some of these to capture all available
.
“One or more” payments. Does that mean I have to pay my bill for a few months in a row and let it add up before the credit is given?
It’ll depend on the cost of your cell phone bill. If your bill is $125+, you should get the $5 each time. If your bill is $65 per month, you’d get a $5 statement every two months.
I’ve noticed a lot hotel offers like that too. $250 in “one or more” charges. Doesn’t work when on a driving trip in US and stopping after 7 hours of driving unless it’s allowed to accumulate.
They all say something like this:
Get a one-time $50 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend a minimum of $250 in one or more transactions on room rate and room charges…
Except Marriott:
Get a one-time $40 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend a minimum of $200 USD on room rate and room charges…
I called about the Marriott: it had to be a single charge.
Amex really brought out some low ball offers this time.
