For this one, the fine print says it only counts for room charges. Wondering whether anyone's used this one for other incidentals like parking, on-site restaurant/bar, etc. and had it count. Asking since my upcoming Intercontinental stay is done with points/FNA so I won't have any actual room charges.
I cant speak to this offer specifically, but I think most hotel offers say something like that, and in my experience they always work for anything charged to a hotel folio. If you just went and had dinner at an on site restaurant or something without staying, I wouldnt expect it to work, but Id bet it will work for incidentals charged to a room.

If I get an Amex offer for Amazon, can I just reload my Amazon credit via the Amex to get the offer? Or does it need to be item(s) where you check out and pay with Amex card?

You can buy Amazon electronic gift card(s) and load them to your own account. See recent post: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34768767-post757.html

Amazon also makes it possible to just charge an amount and directly have it added to your Amazon gift balance (without having to wait for eGC fulfillment and then entering in an alphanumeric code). IME these get treated as regular Amazon purchases for credit card offer purposes.

Finally, got my 2500 Bonus MR for spend offer hit in April (had until early June to do it).
have no idea if my chats/phone calls to Amex actually did anythingnever posted in any of the 5-10(?) different timelines I was given. My last contact was a phone call about a month ago, and was told 10-15 biz days. It posted sometime within the last week - was surprised to see my MR balence so high - I was convinced there were never actually post. No sign of the 500 bonus MR the last agent told me he was adding that should show immediately for my patience, but not going down that road.
I again have a spend offer on my account, which I activated, though definitely not going out of the way to hit it - if I do, great, if I dont, probably better. Not wasting time again to chase these offers - just not with it.

we almost never go to Taco Bell, but did a road trip out to So. Cal and its strange how little there is down certain stretches of I5, so popped in there when the kids got hungry. I suspect itll be several months, if not longer, before we go back. $3 off $10 just aint a good incentive to go back unless there arent a lot of other options.

I used to accept all the AMEX offers in the past, but I got tired of the "don't lose out on your offer" spam. So I stopped, and now just look through the offers marked "new".
All of my cards have 100 available offers, exactly. So by not adding these offers to my card, am I missing out on new offers? I know there is no way that all 4 cards have exactly 100 available offers.
