The Offer
- Spend $50 or more at Whole Foods Market with your registered Amex card and receive 1,000 bonus Membership Rewards points.
This offer is showing up on most MR-earning Amex cards, but possibly not all. On my card, it showed up as the very last offer so check all the way until the end.
The Fine Print
- Valid until 10/31/15
- Valid in-store only
- You can buy a $50 gift card to trigger the offer credit, but not a phone order for a gift card
- Limit 1 enrolled Card per American Express online account and limit of 1,000 bonus Membership Rewards points per Card
Our Verdict
This is a really great offer for Whole Foods users. You can also buy a $50 Whole Foods gift card and resell it for 88% of its value. You’ll get $44 on the sale and it will cost you $6 for 1,000 MR points – a good deal.
It should work to use the multi-tab trick and save the offer on multiple MR-earning cards and it should work to save the offer on authorized user cards and get the 1,000 points per card. Note, however, that the terms exclude these things as noted above in the Fine Print. UPDATE: Reportedly, the multi-tab trick does not work for these MR-earning offers.
It’s interesting to see Amex rolling out more of these MR bonus offers, versus the standard cashback offer. There’s also an offer at Saks to get 6,000 MR with a $400 purchase.
