New Amex Offer: 500 MR Points for $35 Gas Purchase

[UncleB]

Check your Amex MR-earning cards... there's a new Amex Offer for 500 MR points for a $35 gas purchase. 

I had the offer on my PRG and ED... the offer can be used three times, but it takes a single purchase of $35 to trigger it (smaller purchases won't accumulate.)

You're very welcome! 

I'm still trying to figure out a way to use it myself... I usually only fill-up once per month, and after the Kroger discount of $1 off each gallon it's not often I get to $35.  I know many don't have this problem, though.

That’s another easy one. Hopefully I’ll get it.

I sure could've used this yesterday!  Just like you said, I don't need to fill up very often, that would've been a good one..  Update, it is in my Everyday card offer as well!  Also currently have within my offers on Platinum:

• Marriott: Spend $300, get $60 back
• Hampton or Hilton Garden Inn: Spend $175, get $30 back
• Amazon: Spend $50, get 2,000 MR's
• AshleyFurniture: Spend $250, get $50

Those are all valuable to me as well but the gas is a nice bonus.

Thanks for the heads up on this!

I don’t have this offer either. Is there a reason not everyone gets the same offers on their accounts?

Sorry I’ve only had my Amex PRG for about 5 months, so still a little new to how Amex does things.

That's me as well. Even when I'm bone dry it often only comes to just under $34 after the discount. I guess in this instance I could forego that just to get the 500MR, BTW isn't that only worth $5?

Also, will the gas station code correctly? Such as Kroger/Fred Meyer, or any grocery gas station?
