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.

Any reliable site to buy?

I hadn't looked into it prior to this comment.

However, I see most Visa appear to cap at $500.

A good alternative - Amex gift card allows up to $3,000 to be loaded per card.

PITA to scroll through the list. I think AMEX didn't build the search function on purpose.

Good news! American Express has decided to honor the crazy offers that cardholders actually enrolled in, but removed the ones that people did not accept from their accounts.

See story [mouseprint.org].

Thank you for sharing that link - this is absolutely crazy! I am still hesitant to go overboard w/the offer I received and locked in. It's the definition of too good to be true !

I can achieve the max value from this by largely just shifting normal spend over to AMEX exclusively - but if these credits really come through its setting up 2022 to be huge from the financial picture perspective !

Best of luck with it... you are only one of several hundred who snared the deal.

That's quite a "technical error" that's bound to cost AMEX millions. They may think twice before doing any kind of special spend promotion again since the goofball web team can't program it right.

Reminds me of some of the ShopYourWay points screw-ups, but nowhere near as high of values.

dont forget they said they would honor it for a limited number of folks. that could be 1000s or it could be 100s or even a couple of dozen people. depends on where amex think they found the problem and cut it off.

if you have this offer added (locked in) and you can't or won't use it......you're crazy.

also this could be the end of the amex offer program. either they shut this down or they revamp it but it has serious issues and limitations and obviously no leadership and/or oversight. anyone who thought points = dollars should be dealt with and this entire offer/acceptance the way you add it to your account really puts them in a bind; makes it extremely difficult to pull it back. also the way they dole out offers where some cardholders get them and others don't....it's time to overhaul or drop it. obviously we will miss the program if it goes....but it's the only one which clearly and almost always allowed gift card purchases and which almost always stacked with "anything" and the turnaround rate (in days) was unmatched by most other programs. not to speak of the deals (in %) were quite generous. frankly it's the only thing keeping me using my cards but it was a real blow to close the tab trick loophole and this debacle might spell the beginning of the end....hope not.

anyone know how the spending is calculated. If the offer is spend 2000, does spending 3500 in one transaction count as 2000 for offer and 1500 for the second offer?

Obviously I don't know for sure, but that would be my guess. Total spending rather than individual transactions equaling the target amount. Bunch of little transactions totaling $2000 is the same as one big transaction totaling $2000.
