Update 2/2/22: These offers are showing again. It was honored for some people last time, so save ASAP. Must complete spend by 12/31/22.
Update 12/18/21: Multiple people are reporting getting these offers credited in full. Wow!
Reader Brenda comments: It was a system glitch with the algorithm that creates these targeted, personalized offers. Honest mistake. Amex legal team is discussing what to do about the credits. You may get a “good will” credit, or you may get lucky and get the full credit. Spend at your own risk.
Original Post:
Lots of people are reporting seeing an AmEx Offer which says something like:
- Spend $1,000 and get $1,000 back, can be done 3x
- Spend $3,000 and get $5,500 back, can be done 3x
These offers are obviously not meant to be. It’s part of the targeted points offers being sent out to some, such as ‘spend $1,000 and get 1,000 points’. This cash version is supposed to be ‘spend $1,000 and get $10’, but they mistakenly put out ‘get $1,000’.
I’m unsure on the legal end if they are required to honor typos. Something tells me they won’t honor this.
