Saks $100 Credit on Amex Platinum

Who is else is using this credit?

 

Just used my $50 credit for the first half of the year. Second $50 credit starts tomorrow and is good through end of the year.

 

I've scored free Le Creuset and Kiehl's products over the last 18 months. 

 

Don't forget-TODAY (June 30) is the last day we're eligible for the first $50 credit of the year.

Re: Saks $100 Credit on Amex Platinum

Without fail on both Platinums. Got some nice cookware using it a few weeks ago, and I plan on getting some nice summer shirts when the credits renew tomorrow.

I Have Way Too Many of These.

American Express - No CLI or Appreciation Gift in 7 Years

Citibank - Handing Out Credit Limits Like Candy

Chase - Surprisingly, Still Tolerating My Credit-Chasing Ways

Bank of America - My Newest Bae.

Everyone Else.

I take advantage of it every time, but have been waiting until Rakuten has a 10% back day (extra 10 MRs per dollar) to redeem.  Same for the Dell credit on Business Platinum.  That really adds up.

Well booooo! Looks like I missed out this time. Order was cancelled and Amex says they won't give me another shot for the Jan-Jun $50 credit. Wahhhhhhhhhh Smiley Sad

 

Lesson learned: Don't wait until literally the last 24 hours of a 6 month window to place an order
