Good evening everyone.  A few weeks ago, American Express released an AMEX Offer where you could earn 1,500 Membership Reward Points after you spent $100 at grocery stores before November 30.  This offer is really good, but unfortunately I only had this AMEX Offer on my American Express Everyday Credit Card.  The nice thing about this AMEX Offer is that you didn’t have to complete the spending requirement in 1 transaction, so you could make several grocery store purchases that added up to $100.  If this AMEX Offer did require a single grocery store purchase of $100, I would have just bought a $100 grocery store gift card to Safeway, Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.  Here are the complete terms and conditions of the AMEX Offer:

Here are the 4 grocery store purchases that I made over a few weeks that added up to $100.  I like to spread the wealth and shop at a few different grocery stores :)

After I made the last Trader Joe’s purchase on October 12, I received an email from American Express stating that I successfully redeemed the AMEX Offer.

4 days later on October 16, I received the 1,500 bonus Membership Reward Points.  The turnaround time was pretty fast (compared to other AMEX Offers).  I really love AMEX Offers that fit naturally into my normal shopping patterns (such as the occasional AMEX Offer for paying cable or phone bills).

If you have any questions about this AMEX Offer, please leave a comment below.  Have a great day everyone!
