American Express Gold Dunkin Donuts $7 Monthly Credit – Everything To Know

American Express recently refreshed the personal gold card and it now includes a $7 monthly credit to Dunkin Donuts. The terms state the following:

Enrollment through American Express is required to receive this benefit. Only the Basic Card Member or Authorized Account Manager(s) on a U.S. Consumer American Express® Gold Card Account can enroll in the benefit in the Benefits section of their americanexpress.com online account or by calling the number on the back of their Card. This benefit is not available to Classic Gold, Traditional Gold, or Senior Gold Card Members. Please note, enrollment may take up to 24 hours to take effect on your Card. Enrolled Basic Card Members can earn up to $7 in statement credits per month when the Card or Additional Cards on the enrolled Account are used to pay for eligible Dunkin’ purchases.  However, each enrolled Card Account is only eligible for up to $7 in statement credits per month, for a total of up to $84 per calendar year in statement credits across all Cards on the account.

Valid at Dunkin’ locations in the U.S. that accept American Express® Cards. If American Express does not receive information that identifies the transaction as eligible for the benefit, the Basic Card Member will not receive the statement credit. For example, the transaction may not be eligible if it is not made directly with Dunkin’ (e.g., through a caterer or delivery service app) or if it is made at a Dunkin’ located within another establishment (e.g., at a pop up or inside a gas station). Eligible purchases do not include gift cards purchased online or any Dunkin’ branded products purchased at other retailers (including gift cards).

The terms state that gift cards purchases do not count online, but currently reloads do work. Feel free to share any other datapoints in the comments below. You also don’t need to spend it all in one purchase, multiple transactions work.

    • It worked for me. Unfortunately, it charged it as Aug 1 so I didn't use my $7 credit for July. I charged at 9:07pm PST which ends up getting charged in EST for August 1.

    • it works for me! I reloaded late last month and got email from Amex that I used my $7 credit.

      • That gives me some hope. I also reloaded late last month, but still haven't gotten credited.

  • Any way to create a dunkin account without giving them my phone number? Google voice numbers don't seem to work either.

  • DP: doing $7 reload through Dunkin App while using Gold card through Apple Pay got me the credit email 2 days later

  • $38.75 per medium cup of hot coffee only using the Dunkin’ perk. I tried to churn the numbers on a medium latte but was too exhausted to go on.

    • "Enrolled Basic Card Members can earn up to $7 in statement credits per month when the Card or Additional Cards on the enrolled Account are used to pay for eligible Dunkin’ purchases.

      Terms seem to indicate it is a monthly credit (not based on statement cycles)

  • I tried a reload on the app and website, both worked. I wanted to do a $7.50 charge, but both options only allow whole numbers for whatever reason.

  • Additional authorized gold cards also need to enroll but does anyone know if you can get $7+$7 for one month totaling $84 annually or $7 just once in a month across all cards totaling $84 annually?
