The Offer
- Get 10,000 additional Membership Rewards points one-time by using your enrolled Card to make a single purchase of $500+ for a prepaid hotel booking online at amextravel.com by 12/31/2017
The Fine Print
- Excludes Fine Hotels & Resorts
- Targeted offer, must use an enrolled card
Our Verdict
Needs to be a single purchase of $500+. Both the Personal & Business versions of the American Express Platinum cards earn 5x points on AmexTravel hotel bookings, so if you spend exactly $500 you’d earn another 2,500 points bringing you to a total of 12,500 points for $500 in spend (20x points per $1 spent). That’s obviously a best case scenario though (spending exactly $500 and having American Express Platinum cards). Keep in mind the Fine Hotels & Resorts exclusion and also the fact that you won’t earn elite night stay credits or have your loyalty recognized at most chain hotels.

So the fine print is saying “a prepaid booking”, there are many hotels especially The Hotel Collection (not FHR) have “flexible cancelation”. Can those defined as prepaid booking”.
Does the $500+ purchase need to be on room rate/charge only? Or can it include taxes/fees? Thanks!
Room rate only AFAIK
I guess this won’t be churnable, will it?
Didn’t get on personal plat or BBP 🙁
Checked on both PC and app interfaces.
DP: offer didn’t show up online but it did in app. amex zync.
Does this work with FHR bookings?
Nevermind. I didn’t see it in the terms within the actual offer.
No
Got it on the Personal Platinum and ED card. Not really useful to me since I’ve never spent more than $300 in a single purchase for a hotel at Amextravel or anywhere else. My stays are usually combined with points so if I don’t have enough points I’d pay for the hotel.
