I see this deal popped up for some around this time last year, today I found it on my Delta Amex:

DETAILS
Get a $3 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $35 in one or more purchases at a U.S. gas station by 7/15/2023. Limit of 5 statement credits (total of $15). See terms.

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 for eligible purchases at gas station locations in the U.S. An "eligible purchase" means a purchase made with your enrolled Card at a U.S. gas station location by 7/15/2023. Offer excludes online purchases and marina fuel or any type of commercial fuel, including jet fuel purchases. "Gas station" means a merchant that is primarily in the business of selling gasoline to consumers. A gas station may sell other convenience items, but its primary business must be selling gasoline to consumers. The following are NOT considered gas stations: superstores, supermarkets, and warehouse clubs that sell gasoline. Not valid for corporate card transactions. Offer is non-transferable. Valid only on purchases made in US dollars. Limit of 5 statement credits (total of $15 back) 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. Your transaction may not qualify if American Express cannot identify the merchant as eligible for this offer. 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 7/15/2023, 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 statement credits. 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 available for varying and limited periods of time and are dynamic and personalized. If you navigate away from the Amex Offers page, you may see different offers when you return. 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. POID: K59Q:0001

EXPIRES: 07/15/2023

------------------

I usually don't jump on these gas deals, as 5% cards are pretty easy to come by, but if you fill *exactly* $35, this is 8.57%. To match 5% don't fill more than $60.

Relevant portion of T&C highlighted - basically this should work at US gas stations that aren't a Costco/BJs/Sams or Walmart, etc. Should work for in-store purchases according to the T&C, as it doesn't specify it has to be used at a pump directly. Since Costco/BJs are more convenient for me, I get 4-5% there AND they are typically cheaper than neighboring stations, I might just try to "cash out" this promo by buying GC in store.

If we go by 1pt=1 cent, that's 5% back up to $40.

Thanks for sharing but the gas stations that qualify are so much more expensive than Sam's and Costco (which don't qualify) that I'm better off just going there and foregoing the discount.

I would say so. Amex offers usually stack with existing card benefits.

So is this offer in addition to the usual 3 percent you get in the Amex blue card? The offer I had was 5 percent. So will the total savings be 8 percent?
