The Offer

Our Verdict
The offers get progressively worse as the spend increases, you start of getting an additional 1x point per $1 spent and by the end you’re getting 0.2 of a point per $1 spent. Keep in mind the spending rates on this card:
- 5x points on all flights and prepaid hotels on amextravel.com
- 1x points on all other purchases
- 50% more points on business purchases of $5,000 or more (this is on the base rate, so 1.5x for all other purchases and 5.5x on amextravel).
The first offer might be attractive for some people, but most will be better off putting that towards minimum spend requirements or category bonuses.
