Hat tip to Miles to Memories
I am seeing this offer on all of my personal MR earning Amex cards. but not for Business (BRG) cards. is this offer only for personal cards?
any idea AU cards has additional limit of 5000 points?
I realize its a bit late, but yes you will get the bonus on Business cards as well (I did and got email confirmation as such).
Don’t know why it doesn’t show up under offers for Biz but it doesn’t matter. There’s no real offer to add.
I’m also seeing 1 extra MR point offer for Boxed.com in addition to 20 off 75.
IIUC this means I’ll get 4X MR points in total?
How do you change cards on express checkout. I wanted to use my BBP or BGR but it made me checkout with my Personal Plat.
There’s an arrow or something to change the card. Poke around a bit.
So is this something we should be seeing in our regular Amex offers that we have to add or is this a public offer to anyone who has a Amex card. (excluding the ones you already mentioned.)
Seems like this Amex Checkout offer does not need to be added – simply use any Membership Rewards earning card with Amex Checkout and get the bonus.
Got this later in the day for a stacked Boxed purchase: “Hello, thank you for using Amex Express Checkout! You earned two additional Membership Rewards® points per dollar spent at a participating brand when you used Amex Express Checkout.” I sure like it when they let you know that you have used a promotion correctly.
I can confirm this. I used Amex Checkout to pay on a card I hadn’t the offer to and I got a confirmation email. In fact, I didn’t have the offer on any of my cards to add.
All of my offers are for 1x …pass
Those are separate offers, and should stack with the ones posted above.
+1
Is this at all targeted? I did not get an email/see the offer. The above link does work though.
Don’t think so.
Please fix the title to “American Express Checkout………” from “AmEx Express Checkout Checkout….”
The service is “Amex Express Checkout”
I think he just meant I had checkout in the title twice
Fixed, thanks.
Ebags is listed… that will stack well with the current AMEX offer… thanks as always, Doc… God bless all of you!!
ebags offers amex checkout, but it doesn’t qualify for this bonus under the terms and conditions that I’m reading
I was excited as you as well at first but looking into the terms they didn’t list Ebags there so I’m guessing no?
Sorry, I was mistaken about payUSAtax.com. Looks like they accept AmEx Checkout but they aren’t participating in the promotion.
I also got a boxed 5X MR offer as a targeted email from Boxed couple of days ago (has some brand restrictions)
