AmEx Offers: American Express Giftcards, Spend $300 and Get $20 Statement Credit

Update: Some buying ideas from readers:

  • Add a $100 E-Gift card and a $200 E-Gift card to cart. Apply promo code PHONE401. You should only have to pay $300 with no additional fees.
  • Promo code: THANKYOU2021 works for a single $300 card with $5.95 off purchase fees.
  • Other codes: BUYMORE,  AXPBUSHOL18
  • Free shipping code AG0120HP
  • The e-gift cards can be added to Apple Pay to be used in store or online.
  • If you have this offer and the $25-off-$500 offer on the same card, you might want to buy $500 worth of Amex gift cards and then get both the $25 and $20 statement credits.
  • If you want the physical gift card version, make two separate $150 gift card orders and you can get it with no fees: purchases less than $200 are eligible for free shipping and you can apply a promo code to waive the purchase fee.

  • Same experience as Aaron M tonight. Placed two separate orders for $150 physical GCs. But THANKYOU2021 did not work for me. I used BUYMORE to waive the activation fee on each order. (shipping was already free for being under $200). Received instant notification of charges to my AmEx card after each order, e-mail order confirmations, and an e-mail from AmEx about successfully redeeming my offer after the second order processed.

    Please note that it did send a "SafeKey" to my cell via text message to confirm order which it gets from your AmEx card profile. So make sure your cell is filled in/up-to-date.

  • THANKYOU2021 $5.95 off still works as of June 18, 2021.

    Received instant notification from AMEX via e-mail that my offer was redeemed.

  • Placed two separate orders for $150 physical GCs. Used 'PHONE401' on one order and 'THANKYOU2021' on the other to waive fees. Received instant notification of charges to my AmEx card after each order, e-mail order confirmations, and an e-mail from AmEx about successfully redeeming my offer after the second order processed.

    • Would like to know more about this as well since ai have Geico payment coming up

      • Waited for 7 days for the $0.10 pre-auth to drop off, I just load the rest to Amazon.

  • I enrolled in the offer on my Delta Plat card a few days ago, but I can't seem to find it on the "Added to Card" list now. Does anyone else have the same issue?

  • "We Are Unable to Process Your Order

    Thank you for placing your order. Unfortunately, we cannot process your order (Reference Number: #######) for the following reason:

    Your payment was not authorized."

    etc. etc.

    "Please call your financial institute for more information."

    etc.

    Just before this happened, I got the AMEX SafeKey popup, and I entered the 6 digit code received by text message. I also see the charge pending on my AMEX credit card, and I even got an email saying I used the AMEX Offer.

    Used the "Resubmit my order" button to try again, and all the same things happened. There are no orders in my amexgiftcards.com account, but I have 2 pending charges on my card.

    • Chatted with AMEX, and they said:

      "As of the moment, there is an ongoing issue in purchasing amex gift cards. The transactions were approved but immediately being reversed in the system. For now, we advise our card members to make the purchase via our dedicated phone team. You can call our AMEX gift card purchasing team at 1-833-205-8622."

      I don't know if that would work to trigger the AMEX Offer. I'm guessing not. I guess I'll just try later.

  • Got offer on EDP card. I purchased with code PHONE401 for $200 + $100 as described and also got AmEx email right away (subject line "Great news! You just used your Amex Offer for $20.00 cash back at AMEXGIFTCARD.COM" ). I checked out as guest, had to put a business name, had to allow pop ups and send push notification to my app on my phone to authorize the purchase. I expect to get cards emailed to me within a couple of hours like VK. Will report back any problems.
