Don’t miss out on your Amex credits

Every month certain Amex cards have credits that expire, and if you’re like me, a reminder is helpful so you don’t waste them. Each month I send out a little reminder. Amex Platinum also introduced a lot of new credits in July that you may have forgotten were even available to you.

In addition to monthly credits, don’t forget a couple of months ago ( July ), we saw the refresh of all the semi-annual credits across multiple cards – those semi annual credits will expire at the end of December.  Several hundred dollars of credits are due to expire. Here’s a quick little guide to make sure you are aware of all the Amex statement credits you can use.

American Express Platinum

Every month Amex has an Uber credit of $15 ( $35 in December ) and these can be used for Uber Eats as well. However…Amex Platinum also comes with an annual $100 Saks 5th Avenue credit that is broken into two $50 credits. One is from January to June, the other from July to December ( that just renewed in July ). Additionally, Amex introduced a suite of new credits listed below to keep an eye on. All of these need enrollment in order to trigger.

*learn how you can combine Uber credits from multiple accounts

• $15 a month Uber Credit ( $35 in December ) (enrollment required)
• $179 Clear Credit yearly (enrollment required)
• $200 Hotel credit when pre-booking via Fine Hotels and Resorts or The Hotel Collection
• $50 Saks Fifth Avenue Credit renewed for the July to December period (enrollment required)
• $200 airline incidental yearly credit (enrollment required)
• $20 Digital Entertainment credit (enrollment required)
• $25 Equinox credit ( this is $300 yearly and credited monthly – (enrollment required))

American Express Gold

Every single month Amex Gold has a dining credit of $10, this month is no different. I’ve had success in the past buying gift cards to use in the future, but the only catch is using them at valid places: Grubhub, Seamless, The Cheesecake Factory, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Boxed, and participating Shake Shack locations. The other catch is making sure you’re enrolled.

In February, Amex Gold received a new Uber Cash credit of $10 a month. If you hold both AmEx Platinum and Gold these can stack to earn you $25 a month. Enrollment is required – learn how to do that here

• $10 at restaurants listed above (enrollment required)
•  $10 Uber Cash (enrollment required)

American Express Business Platinum

The American Express Business Platinum offers a $200 annual Dell credit (enrollment required) which is split into 2 separate, semi-annual $100 credits.  The second is active and expires at the end of December, 2021. Make sure you’re utilizing these credits, and if you’re unsure on what to buy – check out how we have made use of it.

There is also an annual $200 Airline Incidental Credit (enrollment required) which is active – if you’d like to change your airline you may be able to still do so, although technically these are supposed to be amended by end of January. Also note that multiple 5x categories have been added for certain cardholders.

• $100 Dell credit refreshed and expires 12/31/21 ( enrollment required )

American Express Green

American Express Green is a Chase Sapphire Reserve killer in my opinion, and has 2 annual statement credits for Clear and Lounge Buddy that have both refreshed. Enrollment is required.

• $100 Clear credit has refreshed (enrollment required)
• $100 Lounge Buddy credits have refreshed. (enrollment required)

American Express Aspire

This is one heavy hitting hotel card from Amex and comes with a $250 resort credit.

• $250 resort credit refreshes each cardmember year
  • Can be used at Hilton Resorts on incidentals, food, and even has been shown to offset room charges
• $250 Airline incidental credit has refreshed (enrollment required)
• Keep an eye out for your Free Weekend Night to repopulate after you account renewal
