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, and the digital credits just updated on Amex Platinum – I bolded them in the Amex Platinum section. Personally, I think this benefits in particular is far more valuable with the new additions.

In addition to monthly credits, don’t forget all the semi-annual credits across multiple cards – those semi annual credits reset in the beginning of July.  Several hundred dollars of credits are available to you.

Here’s a quick little guide to make sure you are aware of all the Amex statement credits you can use.

American Express Transfer Partners

American Express Platinum 

Amex Platinum has been called the Amex coupon card because there are SO MANY credits. Every month Amex has an Uber credit of $15 except for December = $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.

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 used my 2021 hotel  at the Rosewood in Vancouver – gorgeous property.

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)
    • Per month
  •  $10 Uber Cash (enrollment required)
    •  Per month

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 and those just refreshed in January.

The second semi annual credit is active and don’t forget to see if you qualify for the Dell Amex Offer – 10% back on up to $1500.

  • Here’s a list of items we plan on using ours on at Dell

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.

  • $200 Dell credit refreshed for Jan to June ( enrollment required )

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

    I have an intersting question. My wife has Amex Business platinum card. We’ve decided it’s redundant and plan to cancel. We will call in to see if there are any great retention offers.

    Annual fee was posted June 20 and bill is due July 15.

    what happens if I use the $200 dell credits now, in July, and then close the card? Any ramifications? Any claw back issues?
    I have no idea

    Thanks in advance for any advice

    Some of the Amex Platinum “Semi-Annual credits” shown above are actually annual credits. For example, the $200 hotel credit and $200 airline incidental credit are annual and expire in December, not June.

      Hey Ed, sorry for the confusion – the list is just all the credits expiring, monthly, semi annually, or annually. I just annotated the cards that had semi annual credits expiring

    The first half of the year is jan through end of JUNE. The second credit begins on july 1. The credit doesn’t expire end of this month (which is may) as of the most recent ‘post’ of this recycled information.

    Very liberating to have cancelled my Amex Platinum after 25 years and no longer have to worry about this sort of thing or buying stuff I don’t need to rationalize the annual fee in my mind.

    I bought some shirts at SAKS on June 28 and July 2nd since they were having a sale. i got my credit for $50 for the different dates i purchased my shirts. total for the 2 shirts were $145, with the $100 credit and the sale of about %50 off and i only paid $45 bucks for 2 designer shirts…great deal!!

    Does anyone know of a workaround with the cell phone credits if you use Verizon and have automatic drafting coming from your bank account? I have 5 lines and would lose $50 in credits/mo just to take advantage of paying the bill with my Amex Plat.

    I tried buying accessories and a gift card, neither coded as needed to trigger the benefit.

    Thank you in advance.

    This a little off topic, but related to the Amex Aspire Resort Credit. In late March my first full AF came due (first 4 months was pro-rated). I had seen a lot about Amex not liking you to keep a card less than a year. For that and other reason I paid the AF.

    I called Amex and explained I could not use prior Resort Credit (RC) after cancelling some plans due to COVID-10 (and mentioned being 65). They said would extend the RC, I confirmed they were saying I would now have $500 RC available and they said yes,

    Over the weekend I chatted with Amex and asked for my RC balance available. Their answer indicated they had not followed through. So I called customer service, That said they were now handling that type of situation with a $250 statement credit instead (no activity required). They said it would hit in about 5 days. They also mentioned I could use the NEW RC for restaurants. We’ll see if they follow through this time. I figure I should know by Friday.

    Assuming they do follow through it will be only because I called, Others may be in a situation to try it, having had their card anniversaries earlier his year, and unused RC,
    Will advise..
