AMEX Offers: Toys R Us, Double Tree, and Burlington Coats; Apple Pay at Walgreens

Good morning everyone, here are some new AMEX Offers that showed up in my American Express account this morning.  The first one is for Toys R Us / Babies R Us.  You must order online, but you can probably pick up in-store or have it delivered to your home or office.  Next week there should be another Toys R Us / Babies R Us offer, stay tuned to find out.

Right now, the AA Shopping Portal is paying out 4 miles per dollar for Toys R Us orders.

Online, you can only buy Toys R Us gift cards, but no third party gift cards (same with Babies R Us).

AMEX Offers: Office Depot / Office Max Update #2, Columbia, Montblanc, and 6 Other Offers

Good morning everyone, if I had a dollar for every AMEX Offer I talked about, I would be a very rich man (call me American Express!).  On Monday morning, I talked about the Office Depot / Office Max promo (link) and how I used 6 AMEX cards to purchase 2 $200 Visa Gift Cards (link).

This morning, I checked my American Express account and saw all the charges and statement credits post to all 6 of my AMEX cards.  Therefore, you will earn cash back when purchasing gift cards in-store and you can split the purchase amount across multiple AMEX cards.

Random News: Amazon AMEX Offer, 6,000 Bonus Hilton HHonors Points, Apple Pay at Walgreens, and Accidental Chime Card Hack

Good evening everyone, I know this offer was mentioned 10+ hours ago, but I wanted to make sure to share it: Amazon AMEX Offer provides a $15 statement credit after making a $15+ purchase on Amazon.  #freemoney.  Unfortunately, none of my AMEX cards have this offer, I guess AMEX doesn’t love me after all.  Shawn @ Miles to Memories received this offer on 6 out of 7 of his AMEX cards. #luckyguy

Thanks Whitney for the image.

In other credit card news, I received a targeted offer for my Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Credit Card.  I can earn 2,000 bonus points for each stay until February 28, 2015, up to 6,000 points.  This offer is nothing special, but if you have this credit card, you should have received a similar (maybe better?) offer in your inbox.  Hilton Points are worth about 1/2 a cent, so this offer is a big yawn in my book.  Good deal if you had upcoming Hilton stays already planned though.

AMEX Offer Office Depot / Office Max Update, Free $5 Amazon Gift Card, and other Chime Card Offers

Good evening everyone, earlier this morning I posted the AMEX Offer for Office Depot / Office Max (link) where you would receive a $10 statement credit for a purchase of $50 or more on your enrolled AMEX card.

Shortly after creating that post, I drove over to my local Office Depot store and bought 2 $200 Visa Gift Cards (you can only buy the fixed value cards at Office Depot, not the variable load cards that say $20-$500 in the corner).  I kindly asked the cashier if she should split the payment into multiple $50 payments and she agreed.  Splitting the payment was really easy, all you do is swipe your AMEX card, tell the cashier how much you want to charge (they will need to change the amount from the default full amount to $50), sign your name on the credit card reader, and repeat until all your AMEX cards have been used.  Immediately after every purchase, my iPhone received the AMEX alert and email confirmation.
