I don't know if Amex would necessarily consider it part of their "COVID response card benefits package" but I had an Amex offer today on my personal Platinum card for $100 off $100 spent at Dell using a specific Amex link, which is pretty good as Amex offers go and could be considered yet another credit against the Platinum annual fee. (I assume this doesn't appear for Business Platinum card holders since a Dell credit is already part of that card's standard benefits package.)

I saw that as well. They sell quite a bit more than just Dell laptops. Just as a few examples, I saw TVs, smart watches, Bose headphones, and Galaxy tablets. They also allow up to two credit cards per transaction as long as the billing and shipping addresses match. In other words, if you and your spouse both have Platinum cards with the offer, you should be able to combine them into a single purchase for a $200 credit.

On the Dell offer - there's a Amex-specific URL in the offer. Anyone know whether using these URLs is typically enforced (or even better, have a data point in the past day of buying without using the link)?
Wife has a corporate discount program through her work that she accesses with a different Dell URL, though all charges just show up as vanilla dell.com. Wondering if it's possible to combine her corp discount with the $100 credit.
Perfectly happy to take the free $100 either way, but this is FT.

I missed the link in the offer; just went to dell.com. Made a purchase at 10 am PDT yesterday and had a "Great News!...you've used your offer" email from Amex by 3pm.

Does the $200+ have to be 1 stay or can it be 2 stays at say $100 each?

Are you sure? I am seeing a problem on americanexpress.com where the graphic used for a Marriott card is replacing the graphic used for one of my other cards. The graphic floats from one card to another if I log out/in.

Spend $2500 get 2500 bonus MRP points. You can do this up to three times. You add the offer by a deadline in early 2021 and then have 90 days to complete the offer.
If you can figure a way to spend exactly $7500 this would be nice. For me if I can hit that spend close to exact this turns into a 2.5% cash back(ish) card when paired with Schwab.

I mostly buy non-bonused stuff on Freedom Unlimited (1.5 points per dollar) and redeem points at 1.5 cents each on Reserved. It's slightly less because I have to buy some things on Reserved in order to redeem them.
Now you might argue that having to monitor spending to stop near a multiple of $2500 to gain an extra 0.25% cash back is absolutely not worth it, but everyone needs a hobby.

2000 MR for $3500 in spend.
I think there are currently better ways for me to assign my spend.
