Spend $1000 get $300 back with
Amex Travel International Airline Program
This is a really cool Amex Offer if you’re looking to book premium cabin tickets via the Amex Travel International Airline Program. This is a cardmember benefit for Platinum, Business Platinum, and Centurion cardmembers. Anecdotally, this offers seems to be hitting people’s Amex Business Platinum more than anything else. Let’s get into the deal and how you can get $300 back if you spend $1000 on the Amex Travel International Airline Program.
Amex Offers
Amex Offers are one of my favorite ways to earn some cashback or bonus points on purchases you’d already be making. They’re targeted and vary from card to card and you’ll find them right when you log in to your account. One cool thing is you don’t even need an Amex that has an annual fee, but often times they are targeted to ones that do.
