Amex Offer: $10 credit for $10 purchase on Hulu

UncleB — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 13:36:50 GMT

There's a new Amex Offer for a $10 statement credit for a $10 Hulu purchase using the enrolled card.

The offer was on both my BCP and Green card; using multiple tabs I was able to add the offer to each card. Minutes later, I purchased a $15 gift card using both cards, and I immediately received confirmation for each account that the offer had been redeemed.

On the Hulu site, the lowest gift card you can purchase is $15; once purchased you can simply copy and paste the redemption code (shown on screen or available for email delivery) into the "Gift Subscription Redemption" field on your Hulu account. I had it emailed to my own address just in case something went wrong, but it ended up not being necessary (there's an option to print it as well).

The direct link to purchase a gift card on the Hulu site is https://secure.hulu.com/start/buy

Remember to add the Amex offer to each of your cards before purchasing!

(Note: The offer was not available on my Serve card. Also, the offer runs through April, so instead of purchasing a Hulu GC you could instead simply use your Amex as your monthly payment method (if your plan is over $10 monthly). My own account was already paid through next summer, though, so that wouldn't work for me.)

Thanks for the heads up! Just added this offer on my BCP card X 3 (2 AU's and mine).

Ah, will keep this in mind for other offers. I have two AUs as well. I'm sure my daughter can find a use for the current Amazon offer.

I'm sorry to hear that; I'm actually surprised it was on either of mine... usually they bypass me for most of the 'cool' offers!

When it comes to obscure stores or really high-end places where I would never shop, I'm usually covered up, though.

Thanks! Had the offer on my BCE. Picked it up and did a one month subscription to their ad-free plan, which is $11.99 a month. Then made sure it cancels upon renewal. It will be a sweet month of Hulu! Especially over the holidays. Doesn't get much better than all the current shows with no ads for a month for 2 bucks.

I am thinking about doing the same thing.

I just snagged it on the AU card also. That means 2 months of commercial free Hulu for $3.98

How does one go about adding these offers on AU cards? I'm not really figuring it out.

The link on my offer page goes to huluoffer.com/amex

Yep, it does for me as well, but that just takes you to the Hulu front page if you already have a Hulu account. The link I provide takes you exactly to the page where you can purchase a gift card (if that's what you want to do rather than change your payment method).

You can also navigate there yourself from the homepage if you would like; I was just trying to save folks a few steps.

I was able to add the offer to my own card, but it sounds like others are able to use the offer multiple times by adding it to AU cards. Perhaps I misunderstood.

Just ordered and redeemed already got a text from Amex on the offer and email confirming it now I won't get another renewal until February and adding the $15 card was less then my subscription cost total since I also have Showtime in there and it said it paid for both! Thanks for the tip.

I am an existing Hulu customer, and I've used Newegg promos (Amex and Visa Checkout) to buy Hulu "gift" subscriptions for myself. I've also had a month or two of Hulu billed directly by Hulu to my EDP.

Perhaps this offer was marketed to people who haven't paid for Hulu directly with an Amex? Has anyone who's paid for Hulu (directly and within the last few months) with an Amex-issued card gotten this offer?

I hope this isn't what Amex means when they talk about targeting offers based on your spending...it would hardly encourage customer loyalty...though Hulu may have put in some stipulation about only wanting to target new customers.

And, okay...it's not exactly expensive...and Amex and Visa have paid for quite a few of my months already...so I guess I don't have much to complain about.

This time, added to both cards. Though I do not use Hulu, might try it out.

If set up antenna, get live sports (I had cut the cable cord, but moved. Comcast only option, I get really good packages, and still own tivos so no equipment cost). Otherwise, I pay 5 a month (which is credited back) for HBO, still have amazon prime and netflix at grandfathered 7.99+tax. Tivos support Hulu, so can try it out, but I also record, probably won't keep, unless the showtime bundle is good deal.

I don't have any AU cards (I have two separate accounts) but from what I understand folks with AUs have the AU person/card on a separate login.

I don't know the specifics on if the offers disappear for the AU once added to the primary or if multiple browsers are required (the multiple tab trick wouldn't work since secondary tabs are automatically logged in to the same account as the first, at least on Firefox), but many folks have reported being able to get the offers to work with AU cards in the past.

Perhaps some folks with AU cards will chime in and provide details... I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

I never have to use multiple browsers, though I have seen people mention it. I added the offer to my own BCE. Then the next day, when I remembered that my DBF is AU on my card, I logged in under his log in and added the offer to his card. I have done this with many offers and it always works.

Ohhhh. I didn't even know AUs could have their own logins. Can they only see their own transactions? This is fascinating and would be really helpful for keeping track of money owed in my particular situation.
