The Fine Print

Our Verdict

Let’s take a quick look at the fees:

  • Shipping fee of $8.95, but if you have the premium shipping plan with Amex, the shipping is free.
  • Purchase fee of $3.95. 

You can waive one of these fees with a promo code, if you don’t have the premium shipping then you’ll want to waive the shipping. Codes are:

  • MAR17FEE (should work until 4/30) for non activation fee
  • FREESHP17A (should work until 6/30) for no shipping fee

This should also stack with 1.5% cash back through Topcashback (our review here). Let’s take a look at your profit:

  • $10 from American Express offer
  • Maximum fees of $3.95
  • ~$2 in credit card rewards
  • ~$3 in portal rewards

You should make about $11 profit per card that is enrolled in this offer, obviously the downside is actually getting rid of these cards but it’s still a return of 5.5% so even if you use them for everyday spend you’re doing well.
