American Express Offers Can Pay for the Cost of Your American Express Platinum Gold Card

American Express has offers that change throughout the year on things that you are already buying.  The travel ones are especially helpful and can pay for the steep cost of this travel card.

Here's how to find your offers:

Sign in to you American Express page.  Look at the bottom and peruse the offers.  Make sure you click “add to card”.  It doesn’t cost anything to add to your card, so add as many as you may possibly use!

It can be searched easily on the Amex app also.  We check these about once a week and before every trip.  Offers are added at varying intervals and the timing cannot be predicted.  Most of the offers are simply refunds when you charge with the primary holders’ card.  We saved over $700 last year which paid for the three cards we have.


When you carry your American Express Platinum card, your passport or other important cards, remember you could be a victim of identity theft without even knowing it.  LTD recommends RFID blocking sleeves to stop scanners that are used frequently in crowded places, such as an airport or convention!  Click the photo below to learn more about our favorite or purchase at Amazon!

Tip:

Create an online account for every card holder, because some offers may be awarded to more than one cardholder.  For example The offer gives $50 back on spending $200 at Hilton,

1. Each of you add the offer to your credit card as described above.  
2. If half of your hotel bill meets the offer -- it's over $400 -- split the payment between two credit cards.  
3. Usually you will get two refunds - or $100 back.
