I might try this, did you/have you used Blue Apron (a recent offer)? How would you compare if so?

not a sync offer but targeted offer to add AU on some accounts
there was a targeted offer back in April to add an AU on BCE, spend $250 in 3 months on AU card and get $25 statement credit. The msr was met same month that posted in May statement. was told credit will take 6 to 8 weeks and it's now overdue, ticket was open...I hope the credit posts on or before June statement since it's more than 8 weeks now when msr was fulfilled.

Last week I took advantage of an Amex offer right before midnight EST. shipment didn't take place for a few days later and the charge only posted on Thursday. Am I SOL? I haven't seen the credit post. I should say that I got the congrats on using your offer email as soon as he initial charge was authorized.
I haven't opened my purchase yet. I'll send it back if the offer never posts.

We used the $10/$25 Carrabba's offers a lot when it was offered several times last year and in 2015. It was across the board on all cards except SPG. We used them all.
Now this offer instead of $10/$25, it is 1000 MR on the MR earning cards. HHonors used to see that but were passed out the last 2 times when the 1000 MR pts were offered.
i much prefer $10 than 1000 MR.
My guess is AMEX rather pay you the MR which it most likely will sit in the account for a long time before it is redeemed, versus the actual $ you immediately can use (to offset payment). A subtle form of devaluation in my eyes.

This is what happened on the offer I took last Dec adding an AU to a PRG and spent $500 on ANY AU card to earn 5K MR. It did not post even after 8 weeks on spend met in Dec. I did not want to keep the PRG open for another year;s AF so decided to just X the card on 10th week.
In mid April 5K showed up.
Today. I got a letter from AMEX informing me they have issued MR because they were not able to when it was earned due to technical error. The letter dated exactly 2 months after the posting date, just for a laugh.

Also seems to depend on which cards you tend to use the same merchant's offer in the past.

I've not seen any hotel offers for MR points in my account lately, but until now I've not seen anyone else posting about seeing them either. So for other hotel programs, yes, I used some $$-off versions because that was all there were before AFAIK.
I did an use extra (flat) MR points offer for Whole Foods about half a year ago, and I recently I got a 1 extra MR point per $ (ongoing) for Whole Foods in several MR cards (I activated it for Everyday since that's what I use for groceries).

Except has there ever been a (specfically) Best Western offer in the past? That's the offer which some people got a $20 off version while others got a 2000 MR points version.
