The Offer
- Make a $50 purchase at a qualifying NYC restaurant with your registered Amex card and receive a $10 statement credit. See participating restaurants here.
You must register each card individually on the dedicated registration page or in your online Amex login (if it shows up there for you).
The Fine Print
- Valid until September 30, 2015
- One-time use per Amex card
- Bluebird and Serve cards can be registered as well
- $50 must be spent in a single transaction
- You may not receive the statement credit for purchases made at a restaurant located within another establishment (e.g., a restaurant inside a hotel, casino or event venue)

Our Verdict
Great deal for New Yorkers. Purchase $50 gift cards at your favorite restaurants so that you can use this deal for smaller purchases and you can use them after the end of September as well.

Anyone actually get any of these credits as of yet for this promotion? seems like it’s taking a bit more time than normal.
Horace and all Nyers…if you like “Jewish” deli foods, this is your opportunity. I used to live in zip 10002, but a long time ago. I see Katz’s on Houston/ 2ave deli on 33rd street/ and Nathan’s on 705 Broadway are participating. I have all these coupons from Nathans and 2nd ave has not been that great lately, but Katz’s has always been great. But I work nearby now! Got offer on 2 cards. Doesn’t take much to spend 50.00 in these places!!
@BARRYTUNEUP — Thanks for the tip!
Actually, if you like Katz’s you might like to check out Jim Gaffigan’s new comedy show on TV Land on Wednesday nights — repeated on Nick and Comedy Central, as well — since he and actor Adam Goldberg who plays his fellow comic and malcontent “Dave” on the show often have lunch at Katz’s! The show is a hoot and has just been renewed.
FYI — I actually am planning to use some of my cards to by gift cards at some of the Livanos chain of restaurants, as both Molyvos and Abbocatto have their own dine specials — get a $20 credit if you purchase/buy $100 worth of foods and this does work on their gift cards and these should stack — they did with the Restaurant week credit, so the same should obtain here.
All in, one could get a $100 gift card for $70 OOP and these places ‘tho pricey, have really excellent food, and quite good prix fixe dining meals, as well — so the initial outlay can go a long way!
I can’t get any midtown restaurants to show… almost all are on the upper east side…
It’s a lousy map. The map for me defaults to only Lower Manhattan — near my zip code — but the introductory language indicates it is City — 5 boroughs wide — and I was able to pull up additional restaurants using a zip code where I might dine.
In addition, you can input the specific name of a restaurant and if its shows, I THINK, you are good to go.
Consequently, from what I can understand, those restaurants that accept AMEX will qualify — but don’t hold me to this, it ain’t my promotion!
OK, makes sense. thank you.
All my 10 Amex cards( not counting Serves) got this offer but I lives at Atlanta. Not sure if I have a chance to use them.
Thanks, as always, Chuck!
Question, can non-AMEX issued cards, such as the FIA AMEX and the US BANK FLEXPERKS AMEX also qualify>
looks like the FIA amex is a go for this offer.
Thanks, I was able to register mine, as well.
Seems to work similarly to an AMEX SYNC Offer as did appear on all my accounts and my SERVE account.
Not sure if one tweets this it will take, but the sign-up page is sufficient.
In any event, the rules indicate that sign-ups are limited so act fast if you think you can take advantage of the offer!
