Avis offer on the Plat....spend $250 in a single purchase, get $75 back (up to two times.)

Yesterday I made two separate Avis reservations, each greater than $250. The charges are still pending, I won't pick up the car(s) for another week.....and my two $75 Avis credits are already showing up under the "savings" tab on my account.

Snow.com/redeem link for $100/10k MR for Vail Resorts purchases is being attempted via using the link to get redirected to specific Vail resort sites from which to try to buy Epic season passes. Not counting on it to work, but perhaps there is some way to purchase those season passes in a way in which Amex grants the credit despite the offer terms excluding Epic pass purchases.

Amusingly, the snow.com/redeem link goes straight to some kind of useless Epic Pass page.

20% off a single Blacklane (luxury car service) transaction, up to $1,000 -- I think up to $1,000 savings, as opposed to up to a $1,000 transaction -- so anyway, anybody need a $5,000 airport transfer?

Home Depot statement credit

I placed an order at homedepot.com for ~$55. Now when I look at my Amex transitions I see that they charged me in two transactions... ~$40 and ~$15 presumably because they split my ship to home order into two shipments. I am guessing that this will not get the Amex credit... but do I have any recourse? Can I ask Amex customer service to apply the credit?

Thanks
DAK

You should be fine from the way I read the terms.

Get a $50 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend a minimum of $50 in one or more eligible transactions online at HomeDepot.com

Thanks for the reminder - I have to stop by and take advantage of this offer.
Is there anything special that they have to do to trigger the offer? I had to call like 15 different Marriotts in the area to find one that had cards in stock. They only have 4 so I'm going in the next couple of days. I have a stay coming up later this month but unfortunately after the promo ends.

Went to snow.com/redeem and then used that "outdated" page to pick a link on it to a specific resort -- a link that redirected to say parkcitymountain.com. And then on the parkcitymountain.com link we got sent to from snow.com/redeem page, we made the the Epic Season Pass selection and purchase with the Amex and then it immediately triggered the "offer used" email for every account we used to make the purchase today with the Amex cards enrolled in the offer. Just had to make sure that we remained on the parkcitymountain.com pages the whole time after our manually going from snow.com/redeem page to the parkcitymountain.com page. In other words, we made sure the purchase was ultimately from the parkcitymountain.com site. The charge comes across as Vail Resorts Estore Sales out of Broomfield, CO.

Even if the $100/100MR points don't end up credited, the Epic Pass is a great deal at $783 for the 2021-2022 ski season. At $683, it's an insanely good deal that I plan to really milk next season for skiing on at least two continents if not more.

As others have mentioned, this should be no problem under the offer terms; just as a data point, the Best Buy offer terms reads the same way and I was credited after experiencing the same issue (split shipment resulted in multiple <$50 charges).

No, in my experience I've bought it via the front desk more or less and it looks just like a room payment (to the extent of getting a paper receipt that looked like a regular stay folio).

Seeing none, they must know I spend enough so I'm not targeted.

Not necessarily. The last time they had all these I didn't see it on any of my cards for several days. Just keep checking daily.
