More Amex offers

More amex offers... Pretty good one for Best Buy..  Thanks to DOC for pointing it out had it on most of my cards.  Added it to Schwab investors card though on this one.  10% back isn't bad at all.  Either $30 back for $300 spend or 3k points on MR cards

cool, gonna buy 300 amzn gift card, a nice chunk towards my everyday's retention offer, effectively 16% return, much better than 5% on prime card, lol.

There are people saying that amex website can only show 100 offers, you can try to add a bunch offers even if you don't intend to use them, then perhaps this one will pop onto your list.

Re: More Amex offers

I have this offer in my newly minted BCE.  How risky is it if I use to buy gift cards off bestbuy.com?

 

Not at all eager to touch Amex's redline.

I never buy it online, lol, I know merchant GC should be fine, but why risk it?

Shamelessly off topic, but how do you get a retention offer on a no AF Everyday card? I got mine in 2017 and it was nice for the 0% BT intro but now I just toss it a $10.60 monthly Netflix sub to keep it active. I really have no use for MR points, I've considered taking the pre-approval for Cash Magnet & moving Everyday CL to it, but I know I won't have much use for a 1.5% rewards card either.

I just called and asked them to see if there is one. CSR first said no AF cards won't have any retention offer, then he checked my account and said there is a 5k MR for 2k/90days spending offer. I figure this is better than nothing, works out as 10% grocery and 6% everywhere else (I do value MR at 2cpp right now).

Another offer to keep an eye out for to see if you're targeted: $5 for $25 spend at chuckie cheese.
