Ready to wear and earn points?

This one is for you ladies. If you appreciate the luxuriously fine Rodeo ready to wear threads…this deal is for you. Spend $1k at St John’s ( which is less than the cost of a single blazer ) you can earn a stunning 20k bonus Membership Rewards. I value Membership Rewards at 2 cents, but even if you value them at 1.5c, you’re getting a handsome 30% back on your purchase.

Unfamiliar with Amex Offers?

One read our definitive guide to Amex Offers here, but long story short, it’s a quick and easy way to earn tons of points and money each and every year you keep a card.

Here are the 5 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 not only get targeted for more Amex Offers, but also receive referral bonuses ( and so can you ) on each and every card. It’s how we earn over 500k points a year without spending a dime.

Let’s take a look at spend $1k at St John’s and earn 20k Bonus Membership Rewards

  • Spend $1k get 20k Membership Rewards
    • Must spend $1k by 11/11/2019
    • In store or online at www.stjohnsknits.com

St John is also running a gift card promotion that would be stackable with this offer. So effectively, if you were to spend $1500 + you would earn a $300 gift card, usable between 9/30 and 10/20, and receive a bonus 20k membership rewards.

Terms and Conditions:

ENROLLMENT/ELIGIBLE CARDS: Enrollment limited. Must first add offer to Card and then use same Card to redeem. Only U.S.-issued American Express® Cards that are enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program at the time of purchase are eligible. Limit 1 enrolled Card per Card Member across all American Express offer channels. Your enrollment of an eligible American Express Card for this offer extends only to that Card. Your enrollment does not extend to any other Cards that may be linked to the same Membership Rewards program account (such as Additional Cards). Offer is non-transferable. ELIGIBLE PURCHASES: Valid in-store and online. Valid at any participating location in the US. Not valid on purchases shipped outside of the US. Excludes outlet locations and locations in department stores. Excludes authorized retailers and Canada locations. Purchases may fall outside of the offer period in some cases due to a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction (for example, the purchase date for online orders may be the shipping date). If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the additional points. For example, your transaction will not qualify if it is not made directly with the merchant. In addition, in most cases, you may not receive the additional Membership Rewards points if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party. EARNING POINTS: Limit of 20,000 additional Membership Rewards points per Card Member. The enrolled Card account must be active, not be past due, canceled or have a returned payment outstanding to receive the additional Membership Rewards points. Any additional points you receive through this offer are in addition to the points you would normally receive for purchases charged to your Card, but the number of additional points you receive will be based on the purchase price after any credit or other discount is applied. When we calculate the additional points benefit for Amex EveryDay® Card products, points awarded under this offer will not be included. Additional points will be credited to your Membership Rewards program account within 90 days after 11/11/2019, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. We may not credit additional points to, or we may take away additional points that have been credited to, your program account if the qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled. Terms and conditions for the Membership Rewards program apply. Visit membershiprewards.com/terms for more information. Participating partners and available rewards are subject to change without notice. The value of Membership Rewards points varies according to how you choose to use them.

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.
