The Offer
- Receive a $5 statement credit from American Express when you use their app for the first time
The Fine Print
- Valid until December 31st, 2016
- Must have received the e-mail to be eligible. E-mail subject line is “[Name], get $5 when you log in to the Amex mobile app for the first time”. Another reader reported subject line “Dear Card Member, get $5 back in a few easy steps”
Our Verdict
Pretty easy $5 if you received the e-mail. I know they offered a similar bonus back in 2014, looks like they want to push app usage again.
Thanks to reader Jeff M

Yesterday I wrote that my wife got the offer, and now I’ve received the same offer but with a different subject line. This time it reads: “Dear Card Member, get $5 back in a few easy steps”
Thanks, DC. Added it to the post.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for providing the E-Mail subject line. Always been a pet peeve..
No problem, I remember you asking us to do that and we always try to make improvements readers suggest – so thanks for the suggestion!
Anyone receive their $5 yet? I did this 3 hours ago and am still waiting. I guess in the fine print it says it can take up to 10 weeks! Wow.
haha… um ok. you should reset your expectations…
My wife got this offer. Subject line: “[Name], get $5 when you log in to the Amex mobile app for the first time”
