The Fine Print
- Valid through 9/4/17

- Valid online only
- Excludes corporate gift card purchases
- Valid only on US website
- Excludes Coastal Contacts purchases, O.biz, Supplier Oasis and Klarna purchases
Our Verdict
Overstock is a valuable merchants since they sell just about everything. This offer seems to be well targeted; I only got it on three of my cards (all cards of one specific AU). Mine were Blue Cash cards and got the $30 back offer, but others got the 3,000 MR offer on select MR cards.
Especially interesting here is that overstock.com sells Overstock gift cards and e-gift cards. I bought a $150 Overstock e-gift card and got an instant Congrats email from Amex. The public rates are just 80% or less, but depending on your selling relationships, there might be a small profit for resale. Buying a gift card is also a good way to lock the discount in for the future and to use (presumably) multiple $150 offers on a single purchase.
Remember to go through a shopping portal for Overstock purchases. Note, it probably won’t work for gift card purchases, as per the portal terms.
Another Amex Offer I noticed in my login is to get a bonus MR point for each $1 spent at staples.com. I assume most people use INK for Staples, but it’s worth mentioning.
