Amex BCE Reward Dollars

[Vegas247]

I spent the $1,000 in 3 months and noticed AMEX gave me the $100.00 rewards dollars they promised me at sign up when I logged on my AMEX account....Can I use this to pay some of my balance?

Basically, what are the different options I  can use the "$100.00 dollar reward money?"

You can apply that towards your balance as in "Redeem for statement credit" or you can also get giftcards or other items. I think the best way is to get the statement credit because even though giftcards are nice, there are no bonuses that ive seen such as $50 for 45 reward dollars. You can also redeem for items, but ive found that they are a little overpriced.

Also make sure that you get your amazon prime if you havent already, I got my statement credit 3 days after i purchased prime.

Just be aware that these payments DON'T count towards minimum payment, so if your minimum was $50 and you redeemed $100, you would still need to pay $50 to keep your account in good status.

That is very good to know..

Separate question: (It's been a while since I've redeemed from Amex.) Are the increments only in 25 or can you say redeem 27.50 or whatever the balance is? Just wondering...

You're super quick! Thanks! I figured that was the case since I had a weird amount before last statement and now it's at a level I can redeem come next statement.

Can you please elaborate? I have $100 rewards dollars on my BCE account unused. Amex has Lowes gift cards, but doesnt have Home depot, which is 5 minutes from my home. Can I spend $100 at home depot using BCE and apply the $100 rewards dollars as statement credit? What If I apply before the statement closes?
