I don't know if I'd say easy - the thought of eating at Olive Garden makes me cringe. Probably why it's the highest points/spend ratio on that list.

Re: More Great Amex MR Offers

The Olive Garden locations around greater Boston are actually okay.  I have certainly eaten at some lackluster ones elsewhere.

 

I was able to add $10 off $40+ to Starwood and Delta cards, and 1000 MRs for $40+ on my ED AU card, but it doesn't show for my 3 MR-earning cards.  FWIW, I got the same offer back in 2016 and used it on both Platinum and PRG.

I'm taking some in the office to lunch, soup and salad isn't too bad.  Double dip points and business.

Had this one a week or so ago, but only on DW's ED and her 3 AU (Plat, PGR, Blue) cards.  Easy 8,000 MRs for $200 in Amazon gift certificate reloads!

Re: More Great Amex MR Offers

The Macy's offer and the Crate and Barrel offer look good.  I'll pass on Olive Garden and Nike.
