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.

Exactly. It's a bug in their system. There's no way that amex will honor a bug.

Yes. Unlike many other banks, you can only get Amex credit card sign up bonus once per lifetime. Chase and other banks typically allows you to get the sign up bonus once every 24-48 months depending on the card.

My wife "accidentally" got 100k points sign up bonus from Amex platinum twice. We pretended it never happened and sure enough they clawed the points back 4-5 months after without warning. Sent us a letter in the mail too. We tried to appeal but it didn't go anywhere. In hindsight, maybe we should have spent the points but we would have to empty all our Amex points. In this case,
being statement credit. I would not risk it and bank on them honor the "deal"

Everyone who is familiar with point manufacturing and credit card churning knows about the dreaded Amex financial reviews. They definitely don't let things slide. They banned people who abused their credit card policies for life.

I got spend $10,000+ in 90 days get 5,000 membership reward points. Up to 3x.

I'll add the "special offer" to my card bc it's free but can't see any way that I'll be spending $30k in the next 3 months. Especially now that I just got the Amazon Prime card Smilie

Anyhow, I'll probably get some bonus points so thanks OP. Just wish it was $5k in dollars back instead of points!

Now check the terms

Already did. The only thing confusing is the one or more eligible transactions. Kinda makes it seem like I could spend 2500 in multiple purchases to hit the 2500 spend to get 3500. But I didn't chance it. I bought a MacBook at the apple site and I'm waiting for that to finish posting. And then maybe I'll hit up Best Buy.

Placed an order at Best Buy for a laptop on the 13th and received no notification of the offer being used. Last night I finally received the email and the amount now reflects in the "Total Savings to Date" section.

Should receive the laptop today. Order amount still pending with no credit yet. Will continue to post updates.

0 / 6 accounts. One account did have spend $1000 and get 1,500 points up to 3 times. Not even worth it for me unless I was already going to spend it anyway on that card (which I'm not).

American Express must think I am a wino, not a decent offer to be had, but 10 zillion offers for wine merchants.
YES! I was just going to write the same comment! The first six offers clogging up my offers list are from wine merchants and I have never used any wine deals— in fact until recently it was illegal to receive alcohol through the mail in my state. So these offers just sit there on my list of 100 offers for weeks taking up 6 spots. And then when I get new offers — I get 2 or 3 new wine offers. Please — wine merchants- Amex — stop the madness.
