Our Verdict
They offered the same thing in July with an expiry of November 15th, I doubt anybody will be targeted for both offers but if you are then they should stack. Keep in mind you can prepay your bill to lock in the discount. They also have a similar offer on cell phone bills.

Just posting a curious note here: I used this offer back in October-November 2017. I just checked on that credit as it was going to take weeks to be given back. It seems the reps can’t see it and it has not posted at all on all 3 of my accounts. It seems either Marketing or the Amex system did not code this correctly, even though it my charge states “cable bill” on it. If you used this offer, don’t forget it to check on that cashback or it will be not given by Amex!
I pay cable and internet through first billing. Will this qualify?
What the …? I’m absolutely certain I had the offer of 10% back on cable bills ($30 max, expiring on 11/15/2017) on one of my AU’s account. Prompted by this post, I went to check it again for the umpteenth time: Somehow it has changed to the same 10% back on cell phone bills (same max and expiration date). I have the same darn cell phone bill offer on my primary card already. I’m absolutely sure I was not hallucinating.
Did you check using the old amex login?
Similar issue here.. I had the 11/15 cable offer for 3x 1k MR per $100 spend which I’ve used 2 so far, and today it has disappeared..
If you happen to have Verizon as your cable provider it will code as both cell phone and cable for a total of 20% off. You’ve gotta do a one time payment for it to code this way though
I got the previous offer in July on two cards, but no cards have this one.
Do they inspect L3 data to see what services the payment is for? What if I get internet-only service from a cable company?
We get Internet only from a cable company (Spectrum, formerly TWC). Have used two rounds of this offer in the past. Worked both times.
got credits of $30 each on three cards when I pre paid cable internet service.
Specifying the company would have been helpful.
