Love this offer, I’ve completed it every time it’s been offered. Expires today!
5/14 – Purchased 3 separate Amazon gift cards in the amounts of $50, $51 and $52, Amex offer completion emails were also received on this date
5/15 – $15 credit posted for each gift card, offer disappeared from Amex online dashboard
I should also be receiving 3% cashback since it’s a grocery store and I used my BCE for this offer. This amounts to almost 33% cashback on each gift card. I am an authorized user on P2’s account and only I received the offer. No actual groceries were purchased. I made sure to purchase gift cards in slightly different amounts so as to avoid any potential fraud alerts on my CC while at the register, and it worked.
DP: $50 gc purchase successfully triggered offer and credit posted within a few days. Amex offer email was sent eventually but not instantaneously like it has been in the past.
Too much of a schlepp for me. Did not use it last time, did not get it this time. But the Ralphs offer on the Chase cards of 10% is back.
Folks, every time this offer resurfaces I see the same old comments about how expensive it is to shop at Gelson’s.
Really? 30% higher? Because that’s what $15 back on $50 equals. Plus the benefits you already get on your AMEX, like another 3% on BCE or 6% on BCP.
All I’m saying is that if you can’t find $50 worth of groceries in that store that isn’t 30% higher than other stores then you simply aren’t trying.
And please don’t complain about grocery prices and inflation when you aren’t doing your homework to fight it!
I think you can stack with Upside, too. The app usually has percent back on Gelson’s. Mine is currently 5% back up to $10.
Just used this offer to make 3 separate $50 gc purchases a couple days ago but I never received a notification or email saying my offer was used and haven’t receive the credit yet either. Anyone have same experience?
I haven’t done Gelson’s recently, but Amex offers in general are posting slowly now, e.g., 10 days. And half the time Amex doesn’t send an email.
Did you ever recieve the credit?
Potentially extended? MaxRewards showing me that the end date is now 12/31/23.
Edit: confirmed, one of my cards still showed it in app as expiring on 12/31/23.
Great deal if anyone is near there, I just bought a ton of $50 amazon GCs.
Have it on 4 amex cards (Plat/Gold/Green/Delta Gold)
Really
Gotta be able to add it to all 4
Added via MaxxRewards and seems they are still there. Will try in a few days as a DP.
Gelson’s is quite a schlepp for me. Can you do three transactions on the same day and get the credit ?
For me it seemed that 2 $50 transactions were ok, but it rejected the 3rd. I then did $51 and it worked.
