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.

I’m also a big fan of PF Changs, so this offer looks pretty tasty as well.

Random News: AMEX Small Business Saturday, New Serve Card Design, BankAmeriCard Deals, and Staples Easy Rebates

Good morning everyone, I had a great time at the OC Meetup yesterday afternoon.  It was a great mix of new and old friends/readers.  I was even given a giant birthday cupcake by my friend from Long Beach.  My birthday isn’t until November 27 (Thanksgiving Day), but I gladly appreciate early birthday presents.  I will probably have the next OC Meetup on Saturday, December 13, time and place TBD.  I will post more info closer to the date.

Other than my birthday being less than 2 weeks away, the other major news item that was announced today was enrollment for Small Business Saturday (November 29) has begun.  If you log into your AMEX online account, you should see the Small Business Saturday offer at the very top of your offer list.  You can add the offer to all of your AMEX credit and charge cards.

If you have never participated in Small Business Saturday, the concept is simple.  For every $10 or more purchase you make at a qualifying small business on Small Business Saturday (November 29), you will receive a $10 statement credit.  You can receive up to 3 $10 statement credits per registered AMEX card.  From my understanding, you can use the same AMEX card to make all 3 purchases at the same small business.  See the link below to see which merchants qualify for Small Business Saturday.
