Details

Get a $2 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to spend $2 or more on full-fare or pay-per-ride purchases by tapping to pay at MTA subway turnstiles & on MTA buses by 11/29/2023. Limit of 5 statement credits (total of $10). 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 full-fare, pay-per-ride purchases made with your enrolled American Express Card at MTA subway turnstiles and on MTA buses. Contactless payment is defined as tapping your Card on the card reader or by linking and using your linked Card through a device digital wallet, such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay. See americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/features-benefits/digital-wallets/mta-contactless.html for more details. Excludes all mobile apps, such as but not limited to MTA TrainTime®. Excludes MTA MetroCards® or Rail Tickets purchased through Metro-North, or LIRR directly. Excludes contactless payments for MetroCards, Rail Tickets, or Bus Tickets at kiosks and on mobile apps. If you cannot use the contactless feature on your Card or device digital wallet for the purchase for any reason, your purchase will not qualify for the offer. Offer is non-transferable. Valid only on purchases made in US dollars. Limit of 5 statement credits (total of $10 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. 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 11/29/2023, 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.

I added offer to my AMEX-card. But how do I actually benefit, given the $2.90 fare? What are steps to maximize savings?

What do you mean? You tap it, pay 2.90 and the card will refund 2.00 afterwards

Yes, I have personally used Apple pay to do the tap and pay and also tried the physical card tap and pay for a similar promotion that was on my other Amex card.

I made sure to activate the offer and I did 5 swipes via Apple Pay (each one shows as NYCT PAYGO $2.90). When/how does the statement credit show up? After the billing statement or automatically change from $2.90 to $0.9, etc?

I never got the credit for these rides. Amex CS keeps giving me the runaround and telling me to allow 90 days AFTER the promo ends to see the credit, which is ridiculous. I tapped directly with my Amex card on the OMNY terminal at each turnstile. It also showed up as "NYCT PAYGO $2.90" each time. They wouldn't credit me manually stating that it's a 3rd party promo and not an Amex one. Confused

You should see the credit after a few days when it's posted
