I saw this crazy offer on my blue cash preferred card. Seems like the craziest credit card offer of all time.

Expires :
03/13/2022

Get a $1,000 statement credit back by using your enrolled Card to spend a minimum of $1,000 in one or more eligible purchases. Once you add the offer to your eligible Card, you will have 90 days to spend $1,000+ or more, up to 3 times during the offer period. See terms for exclusions.

Update: Happy to tell it worked for me

Thanks for using your American Express® Card ending in 00000 for the Amex Offer below:

Your Special Offer
Spend $1000+, get $1000 back. Up to 3 times

If your purchase meets all eligibility requirements of the offer terms, you'll see your rewards reflected directly on your statement. Credits may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled.

Whether this offer is legit or not, YMMV, or not, it seems to be AMEX is on a hard push lately to devalue the Gold card to push people into the Platinum. Gold lost the Airline credits, so unless you use UBER a lot the Gold card offers nothing anymore it seems. I NEVER get any usable AMEX offers in my GC account -- it's always at shops and products I have zero use for.

So now I'm wondering if I should upgrade to Platinum (have $150 statement credit + 100K points offer) or downgrade to Green to warehouse my points and then get a Chase Sapphire or Cap One Venture X for 1/2 the cost, most of the features.

Their site language says they aren't responsible for typos. The Amex RAT team is notoriously unyielding. You can try a Screenshot. Worst case, they say "sue us" and then use their disclaimer to win. Best case, they honor it but maybe close your accounts and destroy your relationship with Amex permanently, as they love burning bridges. Just consider it severance pay in that scenario.

Ofcourse i didnt photoshop, lol. Other people have gotten the offer too. And being typo, i dont have membership rewards points. It has to be cashback. I will try to buy an iphone and return it if the offer doesnt trigger after purchase and cashback is not posted. I am ready to be the Guinea ping. Offer is for 90 days so plenty of time to get feedback from other users

Can't be just a typo because some of the cards people got this offer on do not use points rewards at all.
correct, it's not just a typo. it's a typo and a mistake on who some of these went out to.

as i mentioned in other threads in the past, the amex offer team is probably two people, a mid-level analysis to get the job done and an intern. don't expect any high level of professionalism. they're probably in meetings right now with upper mgmt trying to figure out how best to mitigate the damages. worse case they pull back all the offers and claw back all the pending payments. or, send out a correct for those that got errors. if you don't have a point system then it's pretty obvious you can't use this.
