Amex $10 statement credit when using American Express Checkout

Santi78342 — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 01:25:03 GMT

At select retailers per TPG:

I bought a $10 Home Depot eGift Card. We'll see how long it takes for the statement credit. If it's anything like the PRG airline reimbursement I'm sure it will be pretty quick.

ETA: Bought the gift card from Newegg.

Whoa nice! Thanks for sharing! Just tried this. Looks like someone commented on the article that they got their credit in 4ish days so we'll see!

Thanks so much for the heads-up on this; I just went to the Newegg site for a reload card for my phone (yeah, I'm that cheap... LOL)

If everything works as it should, I might give it a try with my other card as well, since TPG reports that it can be used once per card (not once per online account).

We'll see how it goes!

You can also buy 40 cent games codes on NewEgg and still get the $10 back per card

It's also once per card per retailer, so you can get some money from other sites too. There are some tickets available on Ticketmaster for a $1 donation. I may or may not have donated $2 yesterday after getting some Hulu gift cards from Newegg last week.

So if you have authorized users and they have online accounts, that's even more ways to earn some statement credits back. Hmmmmm I have three users who have online accounts.

Thanks David Puddy and Waynes for making me think about more than just one $10 credit.

I have two AmEx and DH is an AU on each. He doesn't have a separate online account, but they're different card numbers.

So from each retailer (not that would do more than one or two of the retailers) I could I do one purchase (one online account), two purchases (one each for BCP and TE) or four (one for each card number).

Also, we've never looked into an online account just for DH as an AU. I've seen people mention it on here, but haven't had a reason for it. If he did set up an online account, then if he got an Amex as a primary, would it show both where he's an AU and whatever that primary card is?

That's not working any longer as of today

I like free money. Buying $10 for $0.40 sounds good to me.

Interesting. I haven't had a chance to read everything yet this morning, so thanks for the heads up. Meaning that they updated the terms on the offer to be once total per card or does it have to be a $10 purchase to get the $10 back?

According to what I read on millionmiles, those charity items were limited availability. I checked very early this morning when I first read about it and they were gone (didn't even show up)

I ended up going to the particular venue/ticket listing where I made those purchases yesterday and there were still tickets available. However, it looks like Ticketmaster and Amex scrambled and they remove the Amex Checkout link on the item. They probably just set it up to hide the Amex Checkout button when the purchase price is less than $10. That was probably easier than relying on updated terms and arguing with people when they didn't get the credit.

If you read the fine print on the offer it is one 10 dollar credit at each retailer per ONLINE account not card account. You log into your Amex online banking to use the feature. Therefore if your cards are all linked to the same account I do not think you'll be getting more than one refund.
