Re: Amex Offers Alert-4 Extra Points Per $1

I'm happy for those who got this amazing round of offers!  LIke someone else above, the best I got was the $50 for Hulu (which, don't get me wrong, is an amazing offer for me), but it would have been nice to have these other offers going around.  I struck out. Smiley Sad

What is the WholeFoods offer?  I don't have that on any of my three cards!


Whole food offer was double MR's I believe for x amount of time or transactions..  Use to have it, but appears to be gone now and I know I got emails when I used it a few times.. So assume it was 4 MR per dollar spend as normal grocery would be 2x, so assume it would of been doubled or at least an additional mr per dollar spent(maybe this was the case as reviewing current offers and appears how it is worded for other places than whole foods).  Something along those lines

I don't have that offer, but I did take advantage of the Amazon offer yesterday. I'm still trying to figure out how to best use the points on my ED card. It seems like they're only worth about .5%. How are you maximizing your use of points?

MR's are meant to be used for travel, at least to get the most per MR.  Way more than .5 cpp.. Can get up to 7 cpp if done on certain airlines and a bit of luck, etc

I still have the offer for Whole Foods on several cards good thru 12/31 and it is an extra MR per $1 with no cap.  Unfortunately for me nearest one is 20 mikes away or so.  You're right that they are using that exact same promo for lots of places now.

I signed up the +1 MR point for my EDP ( only can be added to one MR card ) and it is through 12/31 at the brick and mortar store. The problem is, I don't shop at Whole Foods. Travelling this week and a WF is reasonably nearby, but I'm not impressed with the selection, so got an extra 10 MR so far Smiley Sad

 

For the extra MR on Gas, congrats to those who get it, but the caveat with all AMEX categories is, they don't apply to the low-cost Warehouse/Superstore gas stations, where gas prices are lower. You have to seek out the stand-alone gas stations where prices tend to be higher.

Is there any guide to how to use the MR points most effectively? I was just going to use the 50,000 sign up MR points on a GAP gift card as they are 1 to 1.

I literally have no good offers on any of my Amex cards. What a bummer!

This would be the most useful offer thus far to me and havent seen it yet.. Many others are for high end stuff I dont use. I use lots of gas in the summer.

The whole foods offer isn't any thing special its just earn an extra point with evey dollar spent.
