Our Verdict
Remember that the limit of $50 is across all cards and they clawed back people who got more than the limit last time.  Staples frequently has Visa/Mastercard gift cards on sale and these aren’t considered bulk purchases so they should qualify without any issue. Staples also sells third party gift cards as well so that is also an option. I’d personally save this offer now and then just wait for a Visa/Mastercard deal to come along to max it out (you only need to spend $500 to max it out). Try to save it on the SimplyCash Plus if you have it as that card earns 5% back at office supply stores as well.
Maybe I’m just too late to the party, but not showing up on any of my cards: SPG Biz, Gold, and Delta Gold
Dumb question about “per American Express Card Member” rule: Does it count for authorized user too? Like can I use the offer on my main card + authorized user?
Yes, so long as it has a separate card number. Each person (unique SSN) can get one offer across all their cards. https://www.doctorofcredit.com/the-amex-offers-multi-tab-trick-is-dead/
Got it on My Amex Everyday Card. Bought 2 $300 VGC from staples.com.
Got my email . will post if I get my bonus:
Thank you for using your Card at Staples, where you saved 10% on your recent business transaction with Amex Offers.
A statement credit will automatically be applied to your statement if your purchase meets the offer terms. Continue to use this offer through 06/30/19 or until $50 in statement credits is reached. See offer terms and exclusions below.
I checked my Amex Everyday Card account, got $50 statement credit , even though it wasnt a business credit card.
+1
Can also report similar success on Amex offer via SPG personal. Bought vgc at Lowe’s…. tracked and posted as expected within two days.
Yes – can confirm multiple separate purchases works
+1. Added to my non-biz/personal BCP card by mistake, $50 posted next day.
This is excellent news. I screwed up and put it on a personal card despite my telling everyone play it safe and use it on biz cards only. So, hell with the fine print- YOLO right?
Not on my Gold and Blue Cash cards.
I didn’t get any of these offers on any of my cards or AU cards (5 total different SSNs). Maybe because I added and used them all last year? Pretty bummed…
Does anyone know if say for example I bought one $100 third party gift card would that trigger the 10% offer?
All past DPs say yes. You can get up to $500 in gift cards to max out the full $50 offer.
How much is considered bulk if i were to buy amazon gc?
Bulk is when you’re purchasing like hundreds of gift cards for your employees.
Yes and it’s a separate program. You’d know if you were buying bulk
Got it on 8 of my AU cards with diff SSN’s. Has worked in the past, so hoping it works now as well. Between this and staples, i am set on my AF for the year for Gold and Plat.
“Not valid for gift cards in bulk purchases.” Can this be used for Visa, MC, or AMEX gift cards in non-bulk form? What constitutes a “bulk purchase” of gift cards?
Looks like they got smart with deleting multiple offers this time.. when I added on my SPG biz it removed the offer from my AU card on my wife’s SPG biz but I could add it to her SPG biz.
