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 has introduced a lot of new credits throughout the year that you may have forgotten were even available to you.

In addition to monthly credits, don’t forget all the semi-annual credits across multiple cards – those semi annual credits will expire at the end of this month.  Several hundred dollars of credits are due to expire in roughly 2 weeks.

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. But in December it’s $35!

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 ( expiring soon).

Additionally, Amex introduced a suite of new credits listed below to keep an eye on. All of these need enrollment in order to trigger.  I’m about to use up my hotel credit here soon…stay tuned for the review.

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 $400 annual Dell credit (enrollment required) which is split into 2 separate, semi-annual $200 credits.

The second is active and expires at the end of December, 2021. I just used mine up on some new office printers and Christmas gifts. 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.
