Yes, I also got that. And got a 20c/gallon discount on my first purchase.

That's really something you need to decide for yourself. I don't think Sam's is as good as Costco. Do you buy a lot of bulk foods on Amazon? Maybe check to see if they'll give you a day pass to check out the place.

buy the costco groupon

SC sells MGC's. There's little else of interest there.

Yes, same here

Well, if you're not already a member of one of those wholesale clubs it might be. They don't really beat Amazon, but you can get fresh foods and stuff there, and prices are generally decent. All those wholesale clubs are pretty similar in my opinion. While Costco has many fans (and is considered the politically correct choice due to their progressive labor policies), in my experience their service is awful. I've gotten more friendly and helpful service at Sam's. Costco employees literally run away from me if I try to ask a question, and avoid all eye contact. (At least at my local store.)

I have a Sam's membership I got with a Groupon that's expiring next week.
I believe I can get Walmart gift cards at Sam's. My plan is to stock up on those, since I can't get extra points there with any cards. They have other gift cards, too. It's just not true that the only worthwhile thing there is MGCs. I may even go ahead and renew my membership since this offer is good through 2019.

Thanks. We're members of Costco but for $20 it seems there's little downside to trying the competition.

Does anyone know how to get more offers (—>100) to show up? I have 65 and 81 and 92. Tried different browsers but same thing.

Which cards? The offers are targeted. The combination of card type, rewards program and cardholder demographics doesn't always generate the maximum number of offers.

Ms mia has:

PERSONAL CARDS
100 = Platinum (Membership Rewards)
100 = Everyday (Membership Rewards)
72 = Blue Delta (Skymiles)

BUSINESS CARDS
93 = Blue Business Plus (Membership Rewards)
55 = Marriott Business (Bonvoy points)

sdsearch

And it seems to me that's easy to explain.

While some offers to earn extra Membership Rewards points have $ off equivalents, most don't. And thus most "extra Membership Rewards" points offers cannot by definition exist for non-Membership-Rewards cards.

And then on top of that, Amex labels some offers as for business cards only, and some offers as for personal cards only (and there seem to be way more of the latter than the former).

Plus it's obvious that Amex isn't likely to put an offer for Best Western hotels on a Marriott or Hilton credit card, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if partners might not have to approve offers that deal with other companies (or have rules against that written into their contracts), and if so that might explain a lot about differences from one partner card to another.

Add a few that are expiring soon to a card with 100+, refresh, new offers should appear. Repeat until you get below 100 offers.

EDIT: Realized I'm answering the opposite question than what you asked. But I'll leave this here in case anyone is stuck at 100 and wants newer offers to appear.

I agree that adding offers helps. Also, using your card at different merchant categories than usual also helps.

Lastly, check the nearby function on the app offers map, you can add those that sometimes don't appear in your list.

Do all amex cards get offers? Right now I have everyday card and blue cash. Looking to maybe open another free card to get more offers.

mia

All personal and business cards issued directly by American Express, in the USA, receive offers. Not sure if Amex-network cards issued by other banks (e.g. Wells Fargo) receive them.

Thank you both. Buying $200 GC and splitting payment worked perfectly. Statement credit showed up in 2 days.
