AMEX Offers- 2x points "normal retailers"

Anonymous — Sat, 02 Apr 2016 16:38:56 GMT

New offers when I log in today for both my prg and everyday card. Double points at Target Best Buy Old Navy Neiman Marcus potterybarn. Yardhouse a few bux back. It's nice to see things that are relevant instead of NYC stuff

Word.

Having said that, 2x points is negligible compared to the usual 20+% we get from Amex Offers. Hope they have a good year again sometime soon.

Yeah this pales in comparison to last year the Smart & Final grocery stores was giving back $25 on a $50 purchase, when you have several American Express cards, it's really significant to score ones like that

2x points at Amazon might be enough to make me switch to using Platinum there until I meet minimum spend. My alternative is 5% with Sallie, but so much of my spending will be earning 5%+ this quarter that I'll have to put some of it on Platinum.

I used the Amazon 2x points for a couple of purchases, but the .com versions of the stores are a little less interesting, tbh.

Online only? No matter. Combine with ebates, pick up in store.

Or buy gift cards, purchase in store using said gift cards.

Gee, I wonder if AMEX figured that one out already

The Williams-Sonoma offer isn't bad. It doesn't participate in a lot of portals, though it does in Chase's.
