[Update] Amex Benefits Workshop - Which Merchants Code For Streaming, Wireless, Shipping Credits? (Sortable Table)

Update 2/3/21: There are two AmEx deals on the Wireless category, and the data points within this table should work for those offers as well:

American Express Adds Wireless Credit To Delta, Hilton & Marriott Business Cards ($10-$15 Monthly Credit)
Amex Offers (Business Platinum/Gold): Get 4x Bonus Membership Rewards On Wireless, Shipping, Advertising, Gas and Office Supply

(Table last updated on 10/1/20 at 12:40pm ET. If the table isn’t displaying properly, try incognito or CTRL+Shift+R.)

Introducing Benefits Workshop for the new American Express statement credit offers in the Streaming, Wireless, and Shipping categories. There are many merchants mentioned directly by Amex (which we’ve also included in the table below), yet most will have to be dealt with by trial-and-error to ensure that a given merchants is categorized properly to be eligible for the credit.

All the data points below are from DoC comments and from the Reddit thread that deals with this. We figured it’s easier for people to find things in a consolidated place in table form with easy search.

American Express personal Platinum card (all versions) get a $20 monthly Streaming credit and a $20 monthly Wireless credit from May through December 2020.
American Express business Platinum card gets a $20 monthly Wireless credit and a $20 monthly Shipping credit from May through December 2020. (There’s also the $200 Dell credit, but that one is basically straight-forward and don’t really discuss that in the table below.)
American Express personal Green card gets a $10 monthly Wireless credit from May through December 2020.
Also bear in mind that these credit can be used in multiple smaller transaction, e.g. a $8 charge and a $12 charge will both be credited.

I hope to expand this table over time as more data points come in – please contribute successes and failures in the comments below! I’ll also add these data points to our Payments Workshop as well.

Any DP for using Xfinity Mobile Quick Pay website to make ($10) partial payments to get the monthly $10 biz plat credit?

I realize this post seems somewhat dated, but anyone get Biz Plat wireless credit by paying Xfinity bill? Don’t have Xfinity mobile and not sure if it codes differently, but will probably try to pay Xfinity cable bill and see if it triggers…

I was able to use the Amex Wireless credit on my Hilton Honors Biz on the “Wing Alpha” cell service (they resell business phone services from AT&T/Verizon etc).

Same here, nothing since I paid on Feb 1st. Looks like I’ll have to annoy Amex chat every single month until they fix it.

Official response after escalating:
The Card Member’s transaction does NOT qualify because it is a Google Fi transaction and it is not considered to be its own standalone wireless service/provider because it is operated by Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular. Per the offer Terms, “Starting from the time you enroll through December 31, 2021 (“Purchase Period”), you will earn one $15 statement credit each month after spending $15 or more on combined eligible purchases of monthly wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers with your Marriott Bonvoy Business™ American Express® Card during the Purchase Period, up to a total of $165 in statement credits. The following purchases are excluded: purchases of hardware or repair services; purchases from authorized retailers, resellers or third-party sellers; purchases of bundled services offered by wireless companies for TV, Internet and VoIP; and purchases of VoIP services.

I’m going to try to escalate via phone when I have a bit of free time. Sounds like some gung-ho supervisor is trying to find a reason to deny it despite the intent of the promotion.

Not not yet. I have buzzed AX chat and the rep escalated this for outcome in 3-4 days. Of course, I went to the corporate VZW store not authorized VZW store.

Had a $10 Fi charge via GPay but the credit didn’t post. It doesn’t show up under the Savings tab either. Reached out via chat and was told to wait 10 weeks for the credit to post.

Can reaffirm that Visible Wireless counts for the $15 wireless credit on the Amex Marriott Bonvoy Business. Charged $25 on 14FEB and was reimbursed $15 on 22Feb.
