I realize this is redflagdeals-tier, but did anyone else get a $5 off $5 up to $25 for certain in-app or online purchases on their Amex?

My card was targeted but I can't seem to enroll an AU, the error was by invitation only.

The alternative way would be transferring Avion points, possibly.

Thank you for sharing the AMEX to BA promo, seemed hidden on amex.ca...Has anyone actually made the BA avios transfer and got the 30% bonus? The miles calculator on the transfer page still shows a 1:1 ratio...

Avios is also the only *oneworld* award program that charges infant in arms at 10% of points + taxes rather than 10% of fare, so its MUCH cheaper to book with Avios even for long hauls if you have an infant.
Compare: MLA-LHR-HND is:
- 100,000 Avios + $300 for an adult + 10,000 Avios + $30 for child, so approx 110,000 + 330 = (lets say you value Avios at 1.2 cents) = $1,650.
- 75,000 AA + $200 for an adult + $550 for child = (assuming 1.5 cpm valuation for AA) = $1,875.
If if you can get Avios with a transfer bonus like now, that improves the math even further.
And of course there are the short haul flights in Europe and in Japan (4,500 avios + $2 for most intra Japan flights except Okinawa).

Having the same issue. Calculator page shows normal transfer rate and promo page just redirects to the general transfer partners page. Perhaps this transfer bonus is targeted?
