American Express via Amex Offers [americanexpress.com] is offering select American Express Cardholders: One-Time $5 Statement Credit when you spend a minimum of $15 w/ your enrolled Amex Card at eBay. Offer valid through December 31, 2021. Orders must originate from, and ship to a U.S. location.

OFFER TERMS
Enrollment limited. Must first add offer to Card and then use same Card to redeem. Only U.S.-issued American Express® Cards are eligible. Limit 1 enrolled Card per Card Member across all American Express offer channels. Your enrollment of an eligible American Express Card for this offer extends only to that Card. Offer valid online only at ebay.com for purchases made in USD via the US version of the website. Orders must originate from, and ship to, a U.S. location. Excludes international purchases, and orders originating from, or shipped to, an international location. Offer is non-transferable. Limit of 1 statement credit per Card Member. You may not receive the statement credit if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as qualifying for the offer. For example, you may not receive the statement credit if (a) the merchant uses a third-party to sell their products or services; or (b) the merchant uses a third-party to process or submit your transaction to us (e.g., using mobile or wireless card readers); or (c) you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or make a purchase using a mobile or digital wallet. Purchases may fall outside of the offer period in some cases due to a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction (for example, the purchase date for online orders may be the shipping date). Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 12/31/2021, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Note that American Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase from merchant until all items/services from your qualifying purchase have been shipped/provided by merchant. Statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your purchase as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit. Limit 1 enrolled Card per American Express Card online account. The enrolled Card account must be active, not past due, canceled, or have a returned payment outstanding to receive the statement credit. Any benefit earned from this offer is in addition to the rewards (i.e. Membership Rewards or cash back) earned as part of your existing Card benefits, but your ability to earn spend-based rewards for the purchase will be based on the amount after any statement credit or other discount is applied. Amex Offers are dynamic and personalized, so the offers you see may change. For questions regarding your Card Account, please call the number on the back of your Card. By adding an offer to a Card, you agree that American Express may send you communications about the offer.

So you need to do a payment directly via Amex at ebay checkout right? Vs adding the amex card to paypal and then paying via paypal.
Haha - Out of stock on digital gift cards. Classic eBay.
You have to pay with Amex on the ebay site, so Amex knows. If you use paypal to pay funded by Amex, it will just show paypal on the transaction so you won't get the credit.

Got it on my Blue cash. Repped.

I wonder how they will know?

Yep, received emails for both this and the happy cards Amex offer ... but no credit back 10 days later for either.
I did the eBay offer.
The $5 credit appeared 3 days later.

Meanwhile the Best Buy offer's $25 credit is missing 11 days later even though I went into a store for that one. SMH.

I was only going to buy the Happy Cards for the ones that is redeemable for Lowe's.
Because of this recent experience, I ended up buying one from giftcards.kroger.com that had the 15% bonus which was a sure thing. The offer expired yesterday Nov. 13.

Works when you use Paypal with Amex as payment source. I won an auction and tried to pay directly with my Amex but got error message that this card not accepted. Looking at the logos of accepted payment cards, only visa, mc and discover. So had no choice but to use paypal. A couple of minutes later. Got my My Congrats email from Amex

Did you get you $5 credit by purchasing the toy from China?

I did. So I'm not sure why they even mention where the product ships from.

Because the terms of AE offer state "Orders must originate from, and ship to a U.S. location."

I understand what the terms say, but they still gave me the credit regardless. But it seems like they are not actually checking where a product originates from.

Quote from sky7 :
I just bought a silver maple and paid via Amex through Paypal. I immediately received the Amex confirmation of offer redemption.

Is there any advantage of paying via Paypal instead of amex ? It is always risky of Amex offer will trigger or not if you involve a third party wallet. In your case I understand it is moot point as you took the risk and came out ahead but just for my understanding would like to know why PayPal

Even more classic eBay.

Honestly, if you told me that eBay management was intentionally trying to sabotage the company, I would believe you. Someone should check to see who is shorting their stock.

I have been a seller on eBay for 20 years this January, and I have seen it steadily go downhill for quite a while now. Yes, it's bigger, but it's certainly not better. It's actually much, much worse.
couldnt find anything to take advantage of this deal. i mean, i struggled to find a good deal. everything isnt just overpriced on ebay, its wayyyy overpriced. found better pricing for NEW on amazon than used on ebay.

FYI for everyone, Amex changed the offer so it's 1 time use only. It said 3 times before.

Mine disappeared before I could even use it once even though there were quite a few days left before it was supposed to expire.
