Right, but you said "necessary"

Btw sometimes the restaurant uses the same charge code, for example the Navio at Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay charges as the hotel for dining even when you pay at the restaurant.

In my experience most of the up to 2 times offers double up like that, but not all. And notably the Uber up to 5 times offer does not stack, at least for me.
Thanks for this. A single $100 Uber gift card purchased from Walmart gave me a $20 credit.

Im seeing a Zoom offer$40 off spend of $149 or moreon several Hilton Amex cards. Given that a basic annual subscription is $149.90, this is rather convenient.

Last year the offer was $50 IIRC, but I wont sneeze at $40.

It was a $40 offer on my Business Plat card last fall, but it looks like it also triggered the monthly $10 Wireless credit.

To make things interesting I just closed my card while the charge has not posted (I got the amex offer email though). It would be a really interesting dp to see if the credit will post.

Doubtful; I looked at a handful of offers and the T&C all say

"The enrolled Card account must be active, not past due, canceled, or have a returned payment outstanding to receive the statement credit."

which I kinda expected since e.g. the various fee credits on the Plat card have similar language, so I imagine it's universal for AMEX stuff.

Thanks for the note, I doubt the credit will post either, let's wait and see.
Updates:
1/12 - Purchase made, got email for amex offer
1/13 - Closed card
1/14 - Transaction posted, AF refunded, app saying the next statement is until 1/15 (which is my usual statement cycle).

I just noticed that all my cards have less than 15 offers on them. Maybe Amex is revamping the system?

Maybe we shouldn't draw sweeping conclusions based on a data point of one?

I was also wondering the same. Prior to 12/31 I had close to 400 offers saved and many of them expired at the end of the year. Since then, I have only seen a trickle of 3-5 new offers per week and I have les than 150 saved. Normally there would be many new offers on Sun Night/Monday Morning, but I didn't see anything this week.

(I save everything as I only have personal platinum with Amex)
