One of my favorite benefits of holding an American Express are the targeted Amex Offers. I currently hold two Amex Platinums, one business version and the now retired Mercedes Benz branded version, and together they cost me $1000 a year in annual fees. That’s a hefty amount. While they both carry a bevy of benefits, I’ve found that I extract a ton of value in these targeted offers.  While I’m not in the market for a new bed at the moment, I was just speaking to a member of my family who needs one. Voila, I log on to the site and here’s a targeted offer. What are those odds?

Amex Offers: Massive 30k bonus on $1500 Casper bedding purchase (targeted)

I went to Casper.com to price beds, and was pleasantly surprised to see that their entry level Twin bed starts at $350. Queens at $600. If you’ve been mattress shopping lately, you’ll recognize those are great prices. With that being said…nicer models go above $2k, so it wouldn’t be too difficult to hit the $1500 if you were going higher end or buys duvets, pillows, etc.

If you’re thinking you’ve heard of Casper, but don’t know why…it’s probably cause it’s featured in American premium cabins.

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. 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. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex℠and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.

    If they offer you $300 off instead of 30k MR points, is there any way to ask for the “reward” to be converted, or to ask for the other offer?

    • Miles May 24, 2018

      BL – I actually just had a different card targeted for this offer as well – you could try calling in, but I think what you get is what you get, unfortunately.

      • BL May 25, 2018

        Gotcha, yeah. I might ask them but will keep my expectations tempered. Thanks for the insight.

    It’s a great offer, but Casper is overpriced compared to its competitors.
