The Offer
- Dell.com is selling the Bose QC35 Wireless headphones for $299
Our Verdict
This deal is much better when stacked with the following deals:
- Amex Offer for 4x extra Membership Rewards on Amex Business cards. If you have a Platinum Business card, save it on that card.
- Amex Offer which is found on Amex business cards: 10% back at Dell, up to $1,500 in statement credits. Expires 8/31/20. If you have a Platinum Business card, save it on that card.
- Amex Offer for 1x extra Membership Rewards, valid through 12/31/20. This offer can be found on Amex personal or business Membership Rewards cards. If you have a Platinum Business card, save it on that card.
- The ordinary Platinum Business card benefit of $100 Dell credit, twice per year. One from Jan. – June and one from July – December.
- Extra $100 twice due to enhanced coronavirus benefits; one for May – June and one for July – December (total of $400 in Dell credits between the regular benefit and this enhanced benefit).
It’ll also count towards the $599 in spend needed for the $120 back deal. Go through a portal for another 4%+ back. These sometimes go as low as $200 normally, so really only a good deal if you want these ASAP or don’t have a good idea on what to use the Dell credits for.

I'd really like one of these Bose headphones. But all I have is an Amex Blue ///no-af, no points-just % cash back and login to see special offers....
Random question:
If I purchase an item today on Dell and it’s expected to arrive in July, will the $200 amex Biz play del credit come out of Jan-June allotment or July-December?
The charge is pending on my Amex Plat right now with today’s date.
Be careful, they’ll likely charge when it ships. I missed $300 in Dell credits (across 3 BizPlats) last December because my charge was pending in late December then didn’t ship till Jan, causing the charge date moved forward to Jan.
The Nest Wifi Router is another item to consider.
hey the new Bose 700 are also the same price... normally $399 so that's a pretty good deal
Not sure why you'd buy the QC35 IIs over the 700s for the same price. No huge differences but they have USB C and a much sleeker design. USB C is huge for me since it's one less cable to carry around.

Black 700 ($350): https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/accessories/apd/aa687198
A lot of people prefer the QC35 over the 700s
Initially, I read that but is that still the case?
Well nothing has changed so why wouldn't it be?
Really only a good deal if you plan to keep them yourself - not much money to be made if you're going to try and flip.
These are $259 on amazon...so better to buy there tbh
Dell price matches Amazon - you'll lose the portal bonus but not the AO stacking.
@will
-I didn't think about spreading the $599 Spend AO over the January and the July $200 credits - you just have to account for 10% discount AO so you avoid a future clawback.
Nice.
I doubt it will work on these as Dell doesn't manufacture them. It will def be a money losing deal for them. Even if it did, I think there will be clawbacks for this. I am assuming Amex passes discount to Dell and they can't sustain losing $200 on each of these.
Why wouldn't it work on these? There's nothing that says Dell has to manufacture them. It's also not dell giving the discount but American express.
I've never purchased anything made by Dell and dell.com and all of them triggered the credits. None was clawed back. (Mostly Switch games, headphones, etc)
honestly it probably will go through without clawback. there is literally nothing breaking the terms here.
It's not a deal, it's a credit.
Dell.com: Bose QC35 Wireless Headphones For $299, Reduced To $69 With AmEx Deals [And $200 Amex Plat Biz credits]
Well yeah the biz credits are part of the amex deals.
This makes as much sense as flights being free with airline miles.
Not really, airline miles don't expire so quickly. I've made the title a bit clearer to avoid any confusion but it's also how we've previously titled Amazon deals and readers have never thought it confusing before.
