Received clear $179 offer on my Gold card also. Anybody know we could use the delta membership rate of $119 plus a family member $60 and still trigger the credit?

Strange they are offering the clear benefit on the Hilton Am Ex since they raised the rates on the Am Ex platinum and are bragging clear reimbursement is a benefit of the increased fee.

I get clear free as a benefit of Delta but may as well offer to pay the fee with my Hilton Card and my Platinum card for a couple friends for a nice gesture.

I tend to agree, cheaper and less headache to just pay for the upgrade.

The language says single purchase for the gold offer. A couple years ago I did this and it posted as two transactions. I called and after several months they reimbursed since it looked lol me a single transaction to me. So, it's YMMV and might require work.

My first Home Chef order arrived today at the hotel I'm staying in. I'm honestly very pleased with their new microwaveable dinners and breakfast options. I have one more order coming next week, so I can say this is perhaps one of my favorite Amex Offers this year.

From a delivery box to the microwave at HGI and into my stomach 😁

Good luck, but it says no gift cards and that you have to go through that particular site. Maybe it's coded a certain way, or maybe not. It would be nice if any Marriott stay would accidentally qualify 😁

My Blue Business Plus $25 off $500 has worked twice in July. Was it extended or did some have an expiration date beyond 6/30/21?

I did not see an extension, but I do see that a purchase made 7.7.2021 generated a credit. There is also a 7.15.2021 purchase that "could" generate another.

New cardmember here trying to figure some things out.

I see a whole bunch of offers....a handful are ok, though nothing great at least right now. I've now added the ones of potential interest to my account. Is just making a purchase with the relevant merchant all I have to do to 'redeem' the offer - ie, do those credits happen automatically? Don't know about the app, but on the amex website, in the offers section, the ones I have added now have a 'redeem now' (or similar) button. Do I need to manually click that after making a purchase at the vendor for the cash back/credit to go on the account? If so, do I need to wait until those transactions officially post?

Also, do I assume offers are by card and not account - ie, do I have to pay with my card specifically, or can my wife, who has an AU card on my account make the purchase instead?

Just save the offer to your card then pay directly with your Amex card at the merchant -- takes about a week for the credit to fully post (once in a while it'll get delayed by few weeks)

AU cards get a separate card number and their own offers (create separate online AU login to check for offers on AU card) -- can't save offer to primary card and have AU make purchase (primary card needs to make it)

Don't use Paypal -- Apple/Google/Samsung Pay is fine
