Deal Details
NOTE: the below is just a sample deal, it works with pretty much anything you can buy over the Amex offer threshold at ABT.com. The value here is in the ability to both price match and use the offer.

Another note: please do not ask ABT customer service representatives about the American Express offer; according to the experience of some people in this thread, they don't appear to be very well trained on it and don't know how it works.

Further note: most people in this thread have reported not receiving emails that the offer has been triggered, but it posts anyways.

Step 1: Check your Amex cards for offers. Abt.com currently has $125 cash back offer for a $900+ purchase.

Note: Not every account will have this, hence YMMV! Looks like the offer might also be different for different cardholders, including a $100 off $1,000. Mine expires on 7/31/2026, so if you want to hold out for a potentially even greater price difference, there's that option, as well.

Step 2: Abt.com will price match to Amazon via chat (they will send a secure payment link). Amazon still has it for $899. You do still pay tax on $899. For me (MN) the final price after the cash back posts will be $850.64.

Clarification: I paid $975.64, which will trigger the credit. The $850.64 price will be reflected once the offer posts.

Filler items: if you don't have sales tax, search for "corn bread" or "salsa" ($8-ish). There are also some travel accessories, like luggage locks, for $20.

Step 3: Well, there's not one, really. Abt is a certified Apple reseller, so there are no warranty issues here. Can still add AppleCare and all that.

Applies to other models, as well.

Thanks OP! Was on fence to upgrade my M4 MBA base model that is just a little over a year old, but hard drive keep getting full with 256gb and ram also hitting 10gb+ swap usage. Didnt want midnight color from B&H and discovered this deal, ABT rep allowed me to order the Sky blue color i wanted! Really made my day for getting the color i wanted and saving $125 from amex abt offer + $20 from spending $1k offer in amex offer also for a blue cash everyday card!

My plat card also got the $125 offer as a DP for other.

Didnt use these 2 cards much recently.

Quote from JohnH1965 :
if you live in a big city and travel once its pretty worth it.
100x4 = 400 for Resy
300x2 = 600~ Hotel I'd say i probably worth 300~ cause prices are inflated
200 Uber credit probably like worth 160~ since prices are like 30% inflated
240 for streaming service i feel like everyone has one now
That alone nets you like 900~ If you don't travel or go out much this is a silly card to have lol
skill issues 😁😁😁

ya make sure you check, I call and verify it count as in store purchase, when you price match they sent a special link to your email. American Express term say online only. you can copy whole term and check with chatgpt. it does not work.

Also combined with 25 off coupon for a net cost of $823 after taxes . Solid deal.
yes it does not works, it need to be online purchase only. Price match will give you a email link, I call and verify they say it count as in store purchase. so Offer does not count.

Amex offer showed up on two/two blue cash everyday. Abt did not even ask me where is the low price. CS simply said 899.99, will price match and sent me adjusted payment link. Amex pending transaction shows online payment. I asked CS agent if they are back ordered. I was told they are getting them in stock tomorrow.

It's not supposed to be an "in-store purchase" (does Abt even have a B&M location?) to trigger the credit. The offer works. Stop misleading people.

There's a pop up for a $25 off $250+ order. I was told it wouldn't work with a price matched offer.
