Amex Offers: Get $75 Back on $200 at bloomingdales.com, $31 Moneymaker [Targeted]

The Offer

Check your Amex login for the following targeted offer. It might be on business cards only.

  • Get a one-time $75 statement credit by using your enrolled card to spend $200+ at bloomingdales.com

The Fine Print

  • Expires 6/30/17
  • Online only
  • $200 can be spent at once or combined across multiple transactions

Our Verdict

This is quite a generous offer, though it’s only found on some cards. I found it on three of my cards.

To add to the mix, Ebates is offering 15% on Bloomingdale’s this week. If you order something exactly $200, you’ll end up paying just $95 after the $75 + $30 rebates. Wow!

From a gift card reselling perspective, it looks like you can order a $200 e-gift card or physical gift card (physical has a $2 shipping fee), and as far as I can tell that will trigger the offer credit. Portal data points don’t look good, but at this discount it should be a nice moneymaker regardless. Assuming you can sell it for 78%, you’d net $31 per offer. If rates go down, your profit will go down but it’s hard to imagine a scenario that it won’t be somewhat profitable.

I tried a $200 e-gift card and got an instant congrats email from Amex, and I’m confident the credit will post. I’ll wait until they email this gift card and then order the next one.

Follow-Up Offer

After placing the $200 order, Amex sent me a follow-up offer to get $30 off $150 in Bloomingdale’s stores. I wrote about that in a separate post.

  • Emailed eBates asking where my cash back was from my purchase. Apparently no cash back on gift card purchases, so the 15% doesn't apply here.

  • It looks like Bloomingdales charges $2 shipping for a physical card. Any way to waive this?

  • Just a word of warning to anyone on this deal - after I got the initial e-mail confirmation, 15 mins later got another saying "more information was needed to complete this request."

    I call in 2 more times and place new orders, both of which did not go through. I can see 3 x $200 charges on my AMEX (and I got the e-mail confirmation that I used my Offer), so I know AMEX didn't decline the charges on their end.

    For a supposed "luxury" brand, Bloomingdale's customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Still haven't gotten it resolved.

    Just brutal.

    • Yeah what is this? They are acting as strict as chase right now. There's nothing fradulant or unusual about the information I used. Pretty needless

  • On my card (Freedompass Business Platinum). I used to have four AMEXes and this is my last one.

  • Anyone know if purchasing two $100 cards separately would trigger the credit?
