New AMEX Offers: $5 Off $25 Exxon Mobil, $15 Off $50 Petco, and 10,000 Membership Reward Points from Everyday Credit Card
Good morning everyone, I have a few new AMEX Offers to share. The best offer is a $5 statement credit when you spend $25 or more at Exxon Mobil. The terms of the offer state you must make the purchase “at the pump” so it might exclude all purchases made inside an Exxon Mobil store. The other offers worth mentioning are: Petco, Laithwaite’s Wine, Robert Graham, Mori Luggage, Jonathan Adler, Bouqs Flower Company, Mervis Diamond Importers, and Market Broiler. Check all your AMEX cards to see if you receive any other offers.
An American Express Credit Card can Make/Save Over $300 from AMEX Offers in One Year
(Hat Tip to Noah @ Money Metagame for the idea)
Good morning from beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona. I am staying at the $80/night Hyatt Place in Scottsdale after an exciting day at the Phoenician Hotel and Resort for the First2Board PHX Sessions. This morning, I was reading Money Metagame’s article and it got me thinking… how much money have I made/saved using AMEX Offers on 1 AMEX card over the last 12 months? If you log into your American Express account, click AMEX Offers For You, and click My Savings, you will see all the enrolled offers that you participated in. I think this list may exclude AMEX Sync Offers, so take that into consideration if you don’t see all your offers. Here is what I bought and the profit ($/%) per AMEX Offer:
- Office Depot: $50 Amazon Gift Card = $10 savings (20% free)
- Whole Foods: $75 loaded to my Clipper Card = $10 savings (13.3% free)
- Home Depot: $75 Panera Bread Gift Card = $15 savings (20% free)
- SamsClub.com: $20 Sams Club Gift Card = $20 savings (100% free)
- Smart & Final: 3 x $50 Southwest Airlines Gift Card = $75 savings (50% free)
Gift Card Mall Activation Website Down, Must Call 1-877-426-2551 to Activate VGCs
Good morning everyone, as of 8am PT 7/23/2015, the Gift Card Mall activation website is down and is not allowing any Visa Gift Cards to be activated. I purchased a few $200 VGCs last week from Staples.com and was trying to activate the gift cards online last night. I got the below error message that says “We cannot process your request at this time. Please try again or call 1-877-426-2551.” After calling the below number (open from 8am-12am CT), the nice rep confirmed that their activation website has been down for a few days and that she could activate them all over the phone.
3 New AMEX Offers: Office Depot / OfficeMax $10 Off $50, Jacks Surfboards, and Simon Pearce
Good morning everyone, it looks like AMEX forgot a few AMEX Offers yesterday (17 New AMEX Offers: Best Buy, HP, J.Crew, Petco, Chili’s, Souplantation, Zappos, Ebags, and Others) but here are the 3 newest offers to show up in my account: Office Depot / OfficeMax, Jacks Surfboards, and Simon Pearce. Obviously, the best deal is $10 off $50 at OD/OM. Doctor of Credit recommends trying to do a 4 way split payment on a $200 Visa Gift Card (your cashier / mileage may vary).
