Free ShopRunner Membership for Amex [USA] Cardholders
 

Got this email from Amex yesterday that I thought might be interesting to some people here as it’s another nice little perk from Amex (I saw on Slickdeals that this works for Delta and JetBlue cards as well as a bunch of other Amex cards)

If you aren’t familiar with ShopRunner, the membership gets you free 2-day shipping from a bunch of stores (Toys R Us, Newegg, Sports Authority, American Eagle, Lord & Taylor etc.)

Just go here to sign up. And if you already have a membership, this will extend your current membership another year.

Pretty cool - looks a lot like Google Shopping Express, but with more stores.

Had an active shoprunner membership from an older promotion and got reupped for another year with this newest one.

i got it,...only place i use it is drugstore.com

Nice, thanks OP. Need to extend for another year. Good for drugstore and newegg.

Dominos too, if they are around you.

Got it...thanks. Was considering paying for this ( for the same reasons Amazon Prime is great ).

No thanks, I don't think I'd want to wait two days for a Domino's pizza!

Thanks so much, OP! I already had a free one-year membership to ShopRunner that was valid until February 2014. Just tried this link and was extended to February 2015!

I've used Drugstore.com, Beauty.com and MacMall.com and would likely use some others in future.

I wish I could get my Amazon Prime extended for free as well!

Haha, with ShopRunner, Dominos removes the $2 (or is it $2.50?) delivery charge when ordering online.

Thanks OP.. it extended my membership for free.. to be honest I only use it for free Domino's Pizza delivery.

Thank you MileHawk ! ~ I signed up successfully!

Don't we all! :)

"Your membership will end on 3/24/2016."

lol thank your Amex for giving me years of free Shoprunner.

Going to bump up this thread, it seems you now get Shoprunner for as long you keep your AMEX as default in your account. I'd previously received 2-3 free years from various promos but this new one changes expiration to N/A.

Same link as the op posted just a new offer: https://www.shoprunner.com/americanexpress

Can you get the free shipping and still earn shopping mall/portal points at the same time?

Yes (drugstore.com)

Signed up for this a few months ago. Have used it already.

Just signed up for this...perfect for the last minute shopping rush, if anyone else needs it.

Nice perk

The dominos alone almost pays the annual fee for my delta gold card.

Worked for me with Brooks Brothers via the UR Mall (8pts/$) on 12/26/2013.

I got it with my no annual fee BlueSky card. suhweet.

Been making good use of ShopRunner at Newegg.com thanks to Amex Plat! For some reason it errors out causing you to reload the cart and log into ShopRunner again. Combine that with (1 pts/$) Chase UR Mall + Paypal GC from Chase Freedom (5 pts/$), not a bad deal!

Ebags and Neiman Marcus I think. For sure Ebags. Was worried about points taken back but everything was OK

The list is very short and does not include Barneys , Bloomingdales or Nordstrom.

Weird - I never heard of this benefit, but got an email from Amex today offering it to me. I use Amazon Prime a lot, so figure this can't hurt!

ETA - oh, I see it isn't even exclusive to the Platinum card!

It looks like the membership through American Express (I have a Blue Cash Everyday) has no expiration date.

Check out the screenshot on the "My Accounts" page:

Interesting, mine looks like this:

But I signed up through AMEX back in 2012 and it automatically renewed for free last year and I guess it will again this year

Have not used this site yet. Does the charge show up as from Shoprunner, or from the actual merchant?
It looks like some of the merchants also have Sync offers, so wondering if one could take advantage of those, while also getting free shipping?

Anybody found any good deals on here lately?

The charge shows up as from the merchant -- they are the ones charging your card. I've always gotten the amex sync rebate automatically.

I've never used the express checkout through shoprunner option, though, so I don't know if that would be different. I just check out normally with the merchant and select shoprunner as a shipping option.

Shoprunner is good, but not as good as it sounds. With Amazon Prime, 2-day shipping means 2 days after you place your order. With shoprunner, it means 2 days after the merchant decides to ship it. Some merchants still take a week to ship it. This isn't really shoprunner's fault, but you are not getting as quickly as you might expect.

American Express just sent me an email notifying me that some retailers will now require minimum order sizes for free ShopRunner.

Unfortunate but understandable - given how expensive 2 day air can get. I've worn that benefit out.

Ditto. Google Express and Amazon Prime have instituted the same.

Prime doesn't have a minimum.

Some very cheap items are part of the add-on program, but there is a lot of cheap stuff that you can buy individually if you want as well.

Well they created the add-on program that has a minimum in place of requiring an outright minimum on all orders. I find most of the items I used to order that were prime eligible are now prime add-ons.

Most? Really? What are you buying? I buy just about everything from Amazon (expensive stuff and cheap stuff) and I find that something that I want is an add-on about 5% of the time, if that. Many of my orders are in the $10 range.

I wish they would tell us what these minimums are.
