I've been watching Amex Offers and trying to take advantage of them whenever I see a deal thats useful for me. In total I've gotten $140 back through the deals in the past 12 months.
I searched my Blue Cash cards activity for the past 12 months August 1 2015 to August 1 2016 and below are all the cash rewards that I've gotten :
Staples = $25
Jet = $20
Boxed = $20
Amazon = $15
Boxed = $15
Jet = $10
T-mobile = $26
Pharmaca = $5
Shutterfly = $4
For the Staples deal I bought a gift card that we'd have used anyway. The other stores were purchases for items we'd buy normally.
There are a bunch more offers on my card right now. Here's a sample :
Olive Garden = Get $10 back for spending $50 or more
Oriental Trading company = Get $10 back for spending $50 or more
AmexTravel.com = Get $80 for spending $500
Gap store brands = Get $10 for spending $50 (in store only)
California Pizza Kitchen = Get $10 for spending $40
Sheraton Hotels = Get $50 for spending $250
You may or may not have those deals. The offers vary and its YMMV as to who gets which offers.
I doubt I'll use any of those. The AmexTravel.com offer is something we might use but I don't think its likely. The most recent trip we booked didn't have any hotels of interest at AmexTravel in the city we're going to.
