Who doesn’t love Top Golf? Check your Amex account and see if you’ve been targeted, but this is an easy way to save $20 on $100 spent. It specifically says that Online Gift Cards are excluded, but does not mention gift cards purchased in person. If you frequent Top Golf much, or you may give a gift card as a future present, it may be worth testing this out to see if they work in person.

I find throughout the year the savings that can be had by adding Amex Offers to your targeted cards can outweigh your annual fee without taking any other benefits into consideration. Maybe not the entirety of the $2000+ that I pay in Amex Annual fees from my 10 cards, but every bit helps. If you are unfamiliar with Amex Offers, go here to read our guide.

Here are the 10 American Express Cards that I keep and links to their current offers and why we have them in our wallet and recommend your consideration.

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.

    What’s this have to do with travel? What’s next a blog post mentioning a $10 off $50 at Macys? Oh for the days when Boarding Area bloggers actually wrote about TRAVEL instead of this nonstop credit card touting with useless posts that they can stick their referral link in.

      I’m guessing you don’t go to TopGolf
