In the past, the credit shows up and then the Savings tab would say you earned $. Now it is the other way round.
I have noticed this happening sometimes, too. The actual credit has always posted the next day for me.

Thanks for the data point. This is the first time I have seen such happening.

I have several other cards that has this nice offer and intend to use them all because of free store pick up and as we all stop at WMT ever so often anyway.

I used the Wal-Mart offer to pick up 4 $15 gift cards - already used them all.

November looks to be a very big month for AMEX offers between the Staples offer, Small Business Saturday and whatever else comes along. I do remember that AMEX was very generous during the holiday season last year.

Did you get the confirmation email a second time?

I'm curious whether these offers are funded by AMEX or the merchants. My guess is merchants pay for these while AMEX acts as a marketing platform to bring in the traffic?

I doubt that Amex funds them. Some of them are huge. I have one that is $1000 back for spending $5k+. The store must be offering the bulk of the discount, similar to a coupon.

I tried with a different AMEX card. I'm waiting to see if the pending charges disappear before I try with the same card again.

If the offer is for a specific store or chain, the merchant offers the discount. If the offer for a category (e.g. Small Business Saturday), American Express offers the discount.

I had a similar issue with the Walmart offer when Walmart cancelled a couple egift card orders. Amex had already sent the confirmation emails and did not send new confirmation emails when I charged the $15 on each card a week or so later. However, the $5 credits all posted as expected a couple days after the new $15 charges cleared so it didn't seem to affect the ability to redeem the offer.

Thanks, appreciate the datapoint. Will wait for the pre auths to fall off and try again.

I do not know you could buy gift cards from WalMart.com. Interesting.

We have some sundry items we need, and WalMart seems to have the lower prices than Target, so that suits us fine.

It's not actually necessary to wait for the first preauths to fall off.

It looks like there's a new AT&T offer $150 off $150


Now get an exclusive business offer with AT&T wireless on your Business Card from American Express OPEN! Enroll your eligible Card & pay your AT&T wireless bill of $150+ online or by phone by 4/15/15 & get a one-time $150 statement credit.

Has anyone found a way yet to use this on something other than a cell phone bill (or by paying for a friends bill if you don't have AT&T?)
