Targeted Amex Offer: 20,000 Membership rewards bonus with Furnitureland South
I’m going to be completely honest with you…I’d never heard of Furnitureland South until I got targeted for this Amex Offer. Then I went to their site and HOLY COW! This place is one BEAST of FURNITURE store. They have amazingly beautiful pieces and I even did some research and confirmed that they will SHIP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. The best part of the deal is if you spend $1000+ by the end of July you can get 20,000 Membership rewards when you pay with your registered Amex. That deserves one big B-YAH
The offer: Remember with all Amex Offers you must “add to card”
Miles I don’t want any furniture. They also do mattresses. Apparently you’re supposed to get a new one every 7 years. That explains the 7 year itch!
And they will ship anywhere in the world. Cherry confirmed this via chat.
Ok…enough about furniture. What can I do with 20,000 Membership Rewards?
That’s a great question. Personally I wouldn’t spend just the 20k, but rather bank them until I could redeem them for some great business and first class products.
Like flying intra-asia on EVA Royal Laurel for just 27,500 SingaporeAir Krisflyer. We wrote how that’s a great sweet spot and Dave ( my best bud) and I did it from Taipei to Saigon on New Years. BYAH!
OR SAVE THEM to redeem for Singapore Suites. Only 50k from Beijing to Singapore.
Just had an INCREDIBLE experience in the Suites for my mom’s surprise trip around the world. You should all do a surprise trip – they just make you feel soooooo good 🙂
Or Maybe transfer them to Aeroplan to fly to Europe on Lufthansa First Class. Just 70k.
Or just 55k Membership Rewards transferred to Aeroplan will get you in business to Europe. Perhaps you’ll go to London On Air New Zealand.
This could be a great opportunity to earn a grip of points and some nice things for the house. Lemme know if you take advantage!
The Chase Sapphire Preferred is a great starter card that earns Premium Ultimate Rewards that can be transferred into over a dozen partners many of which are US based.

There is currently an 80k offer after $4k spend in 3 months available in branch, and up to 90k after $6k spend in 6 months. I suspect some version of this will be online soon if you don’t want the hassle of going into a branch.
We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 60k is a very, very good offer. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back. .
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
