I guess it pertains to this deal, too, if you were able to save it onto more than one card:

What we're seeing more and more though, is that Amex is willing to use its broad authority to claw back points or close the accounts of people who try to game promotions or do things that are explicitly forbidden by the terms and conditions. Amex has made it clear that it doesn't intend to sit back and allow people to game the system.
I can't speak of having adding the offer to more than 1 cards as I don't have BB or serve.
Amex clawing back points are the ones that are MS'ing to get points for traveling as in (Delta, Hilton, etc). But come on … clawing back a credit of $5 seriously I have never had credits clawed back for these amex offers. Amex offers at Staples, Lowes, etc and I always bought Amazon gift cards all the time on 6 cards in our household and yes there are 6 of us. One offer added to each account. not gaming the system here.

haha, no they aren't; that's ridiculous, vc. we're NOT seeing more and more of nothing of the kind. what we ARE seeing is criminals being held accountable for cheating. using your amex card at the merchant and then going home and standing by while the amex credit card system does it own work all by itself that amex programmed it to do is not my fault. I added the offer. then one day, I decided to buy a gc which isn't a crime and I took that gc home. how is it my fault? am I supposed to turn around and call amex and beg them to stop it?! c'mon give me a break. if amex wants to control their own software code, they know what to do. the burden is not on the customer. nowhere does it say after you add the offer, please avoid using the card at a small biz which sells gcs. it says you won't get a credit, fine. if they go ahead and give me a credit anyway, I guess they lied. how am i to know what to believe? who reads all that fine print anyway. Wink

obvious this post is not directed specifically to you.....

A tip is considered an expenditure and may be used to increase the aggregate to $10.

My total was $9.84 for a sandwich and I added $0.16 tip to reach the $10 limit, I received the credit within two days of the payment positing to my account.
Woah! Slow down, Rockefeller.

You can take it up with AMEX. Amex is known for clawing back credits even for things like "misusing" a travel credit. It's their system's own damn fault for not catching it of course. No one's really defending Amex, it's just wise to be aware that Amex has recently gotten worse in this aspect, it doesn't have to be MS'ing or huge "misuse."

It's odd I've used my card at 2 grocery store chains and received the $5 credit for each a day after it posts but this 3rd grocery store hasn't posted any credits yet and its been 3 business days, they are for sure on the small business list when I look at the map. Guess I'll have to chat/call AMEX about it if I don't see the credit in a week or 2.

You have until Sept 30 to redeem this ten times...what's the rush? you seem have been able to do 3 txn in days. Is it really worth it to complain? Or do you just plan to use your Amex 10x and stop?

Ya I was planning on using it 10x then stop as its a AMEX Serve card that has a monthly fee attached to it. I actually haven't used that card in probably over a year but somehow it was still active

I added this offer a few days ago, planning to visit some local stores (not chains) in order to use this perk.

This morning, I received an email from AMEX that I had redeemed this offer, but I really haven't visited any stores yet.

To my surprise, an Ebay purchase triggered this award. I guess some of their sellers qualify as 'shop small'.

I have the 10x amex serve as well and like you, plan to use it 10x then stop. even though serve has a fee, you're not paying that fee are you? I've never paid it. as long as your balance is $0 on statement date, the fee is waived.

agreed but we believe the exclusion on the amex offer is based on the idea you may not be purchasing from the intended merchant so your credit is not guaranteed as opposed to being an exception because it has been specifically excluded by the merchant or by amex. which is why you almost never see other exclusions such as apple, gopro, gucci, or nike. I only took issue to the tone of some post that talked about closing accounts etc in the same vein as those you cheat and game the system to their advantage and to the detriment of the program which is NOT happening here. buying a gc on an amex offer is not a bad thing, the merchant doesn't believe that, amex doesn't believe that...and neither should you. the warning is there to actually help you get your credit and alert you to any potential pitfalls. imho

Does the authorized user card have to have its own account? I don't see a way to add it under the main account unless I'm missing a step somewhere. TIA
Yes, the authorized user needs to have an online account also.

I have 3 authorized users with their own online accounts and they all got this offer.

True, so with Serve it is a race to make all 10 charges in a month and then charge something after the last $5 credit posts to empty your card to a zero balance to avoid the fee. It is very do-able but you have to keep track of the dates.

By the way, does Serve charge a load fee when you do a cash reload at CVS on the Serve Card?

$0.16 tip on $9.84 served sandwich is like 1% (0.016) Frown
