New AMEX Offers: Shop Small in November, Olive Garden, Chime Card Offers & BankAmeriDeals

Posted on by . 24 Replies

Updated 11/1/2015 at 11am PT: added a screenshot of the Shop Small AMEX Offer for AMEX Business cards ($20 off $100).

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween.  There is a new batch of AMEX Offers to share today.  Instead of Small Business Saturday (which would have been November 28 this year), American Express replaced that promotion with Shop Small in November.  If you use your enrolled AMEX card at any “qualifying small business” in November, you will get a $10 statement credit after making a $10 purchase.  The offer appeared on my Platinum, Blue Cash Everyday, and Old Blue Cash (no love for my AMEX Everyday cards).

There is also an offer for AMEX Business Cards: you will get a $20 statement credit after making a $100 purchase (thanks for the screenshot, Alex)

(Hat Tip to Tym2Trvl on Twitter)

Good morning everyone.  British Airways made an announcement overnight that they would be eliminating the 4,500 Avios award band for all award travel on American Airlines and Alaska Airlines.  The lowest Avios award band for American Airlines and Alaska Airlines will be 7,500 Avios starting on February 2, 2016.  All other Avios award bands for travel on all other Avios partners remain the same.

Here is the *modified* British Airways Avios award chart for American Airlines and Alaska Airlines.  The original award chart is still valid for all other Avios award bands.  The original post (showing 4,500 Avios flights and US Airways award flights is here).

In this post, I will show you all the non-stop flights from San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK), and San Jose (SJC) that you can book with British Airways Avios.  Dan’s Deals has details for several other airports here.  I have broken up all the flights into the various Avios bands, starting with the shortest distance.  Note: Alaska Airlines and Aer Lingus can be booked with British Airways Avios, but you will have to call British Airways to book the award ticket.  Please read Book British Airways Avios Award Tickets for more information.   Continue reading →
