New Amex Cobrand Credits

K-in-Boston — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 13:13:34 GMT

Looked at my Amex Offers this morning and looks like the new credits for 2021 that Amex was vague about in a recent press release are now available to opt into.

Looks like $20 back for $20+ on dining each month on both Delta Reserve and Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, $15 back for $15+ on dining on SkyMiles Platinum, and $15 back for $15+ on wireless on SkyMiles Business Platinum. That's an extra $715 back this year for me!

Also have 7500 bonus points for $7500 spend on Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant up to 10x which basically makes it earn as much as it did before the Marriott-SPG merger was complete.

These are not automatic credits - be sure to add them in Amex Offers! Assuming all of the Hilton AF cards and Delta Gold SkyMiles card also have new credits.

Looks like I was scooped by DoC. 😂

Hilton Aspire, Delta Reserve, Delta Platinum & Marriott Brilliant: $20 monthly credit
Hilton Surpass, Delta Gold: $10 monthly credit
No annual fee Hilton: $5 monthly credit

And the lower AF Marriott card also has $10 monthly credit according to the comments.

For wireless:

Marriott Business: $15 monthly credit
Delta & Hilton Business: $10 monthly credit

(Although Delta Platinum I got $15 not $10 as did a commenter, so that is likely a DoC typo.)

Also looks like Hilton people are getting 10k points for each $5000 of spend up to 10x.

I just checked my Marriott Bonvoy Modern Art card (or whatever the conveyed SPG card is called) and it appears to have an offer for $10 back for $10+ on dining

Edit: K-in-Boston beat me to it!

I also got the $15 for Delta Platinum, so it's either the aforementioned typo or a YMMV situation.

Cool!

Confirming that SkyMiles Gold got $10/mo at any restaurant, including takeout, for the rest of 2021. That's unusually broad, compared to Amex's recent standards for these types of things. And trivially easy to use. Completely offsets the $99 AF for this year, even if one misses a month. I *think* enrollment was automatic. (Edit: That last bit is wrong. Enrollment is not automatic. Sorry.)

Well done, Amex!

I already added the $5 credit to my Amex Hilton Honors card (no annual fee version). I was pleased to see the offer when I checked my Amex offers this morning.

This deal is similar to but in some ways more flexible and in other ways less flexible than the $50 total of Shop Small credits American Express provided on all/most of their cards back in summer 2020.

$15 for Delta Plat as well. Can't confirm on the Hilton Surpass as I just checked off the final box on my current to-do list and picked it up last night. Not showing in my account yet.

Typo. In his first post, he clearly stated $15 for Delta Platinum. I also got $15 for Delta Platinum (and $20 for Bonvoy Brilliant).

Great news, thanks! Getting some extra value on my Aspire is helpful considering my favorite wine country Double Tree no longer counts as a resort, so probably won't be getting the resort $250 this year. Decent replacement with the dining credit. Now if the airline credit would work for United TravelBank again that would be sweet.

I believe all of fine print for these offers state a date at some point in December or January that a cardmember needed to have the card in order to be eligible so sadly I don't think your Surpass will be eligible.

Can confirm Surpass is $10/month for $10 spend - just added that and the $5 credit to my Surpass and base Hilton cards. Added the credits to Delta Gold this morning.

And there you would be correct! Added while on my phone and didn't check the fine print. Well, the $150 credit on the new Surpass ends up as a better deal anyway. 😏

Saw these on CNBC. When I went to my AMEX account, did not see either the Hilton Aspire nor Marriott Brilliant Dining offers, but had 100 listed offers in each account. Selected the one for spend $5,000 / $7,500 on each card to move those over to "Added to Card" to get to 99 offers in each account.

Logged out of AMEX then log back in to refresh the list, and got the $20 credit offers.

Further confirmation that it's best to select someting on that Available Offers list to get below 100, then log in so one is not missing any good stuff.

Yeah, good value in these offers, because we still have the stay credits, and other benefits of the cards in a slow travel year.

$30 for each Platinum with PayPal, and now dining on Marriott and Delta.

Time for a spreadsheet!

Uber Eats has been triggering the 20% back part of my Platinum SUB, so I'm guessing it will count as dining for this?

Yeah, one of the sign-up terms is "Offer to enroll is available to existing Hilton Honors American Express Card Members who are Basic Card Members prior to January 1, 2021."

The sign-up terms also say "Limit of 1 enrolled Card per Card Member."

On a semi-related note, if you check Amex Offers on the website (not the app), you'll now see all of the accepted offers, not merely the first 100 offers that will expire. American Express tweaked that feature for the better a few weeks ago.

Amex for the win! The $15 wireless credit pays for the entire annual fee on my Bonvoy Business card.

Hilton Honors (No AF) I am guessing you had to have it in December because I signed up and received my card in January 21, and it is not showing up on my account, which really sucks.

Agreed. The banks got used to driving spend with bonuses, so now...

PenFed $500 to get $50 in Feb

Platinum $30 per month on PayPal. I think I will likely use the Shell app for gas here.

Hilton $20 per month dining

Bonvoy $20 per month dining - DGF has this $20 also...

Gold $10 GrubHub credit - KFC

Uber cash $15 from Plat, waiting for the Gold portion, or do I need to opt in to that one?

PSA: You have to add your Gold card to Uber as an available payment method to get the $10. I did that just now, and it immediately added the $10 for February so my Uber Cash is now $25 for Feb.

CSR Door Dash credit to use, still some for 2021 on mine. Some remaining on DGF CSR as well.

Hyatt card looking for multiple swipes, to get extra Hyatt points, but now I'm not sure I'm going to get that in Feb.

Who's hungry?

No soup for me.. Only thing of interest is $100 back off $100 spend on the motley fool although certainly not food..
