Is that under the marketing part for emails? I tried a couple of years ago to stop getting Amex offer emails and couldn't find a way to stop just them so I made a filter to delete all emails from "American Express" in my email (I don't really need alerts since I'm pretty good about staying on top of my accounts' activity). I don't remember seeing the marketing section before when I went to turn off email alerts.

I started paying attention during COVID years. Now they have all but dried up.

Sender is “[email protected]” and subject is “Your <merchant> offer is expiring soon!”
The email address is used for other email notifications, so you probably will want to use both criteria to filter notifications.

There also the more generic "(name), Don't miss out! Redeem your offers." email with a slightly different sender of americanexpress at member.americanexpress.com
which lists multiple offers that have been added but not redeemed.
I don't filter any of these out though, because they amuse me (I'm easily entertained ) I enjoy thinking "oh yeah, I'll get right on that" for offers I added just to clear some space

Does anyone know if they will or usually add a WSJ offer? I used one last September and my renewal is coming soon and I won’t be paying 38.99 a month. So I’m hoping for an offer or I’ll have to cancel.

Actually, I wasn't getting just expiring offer emails but also confirmations when I signed up for them. Since I'm very good about checking all my accounts on a regular basis, I just have the filter automatically delete all emails from "American Express"...though sometimes these slip through for unknown reasons.

No way to tell, nor if T&Cs would allow a discount of a renewal. Worse case, WSJ tends to offer a renewal promo, and for tax purposes, the subscription can be considered a business expense.

Regarding the missing Amex offer for grocery spend:
I enrolled in Amex offer for $5 off from $50+ on grocery spend. Credit posted for most of my grocery spend charges except for one.
5/20 charged
6/23 escalated via chat
8/8 $5 credit appeared
If you are still waiting on the grocery offer credit, I encourage you to reach out to Amex and have them open a case for you.

The T&C are a bit interesting though
Offer valid only at Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva, Fairmont Monte Carlo, Fairmont St. Andrews and Fairmont Windsor Park. Reservations for Fairmont Hotels & Resorts must be made online at all.accor.com, Fairmont.com or directly in participating hotels. Valid only on purchases made in US dollars. Excludes all other Accor brands and Residence Clubs.
[...]
Qualifying purchase means a purchase at a participating Fairmont Hotels & Resorts property made during the offer period with your enrolled American Express Card and which is in an amount totaling at least $500 USD as posted to your account, following conversion from a foreign currency, if applicable, in accordance with your Cardmember Agreement.
I guess you could say the first bolded clause renders the second bolder clause not applicable, but it still seems weird for an offer limited to properties in Europe. Or is the first clause just boilerplate that someone forgot to remove when creating this geographically-specific offer... I tend to suspect the latter, but...?
(Mostly academic as I am unlikely to need/use this offer personally, but mostly curious in case it comes up in some future context of another brand I have more of an affinity for...)
