All these above can be saved by going to the direct link. There are a few more that were added now (10/3/17) which are showing in the login, but not at the main link. These are targeted and aren’t showing for everyone:
- BJ’s Wholesale (in-club only)
- Exxon
- Toys R Us and Babies R Us (both in-store and online)
- Seamless.com
- Grubhub.com
There’s also the standard offer to get 2x MR points on Uber. This has no expiration date and does not need enrollment.
The Fine Print
- Valid through 12/31/17
- Limit 1 enrolled Card per American Express Card online account
- When we calculate the additional points benefit for Amex EveryDay® Card products, points awarded under this offer will not be included
Our Verdict
A lot of these merchants aren’t terribly useful [you probably aren’t using an MR card at Staples (5x INK) or maybe even at restaurants (3x CSR)], but some of these can be useful for sure. If you have the Everyday Preferred card which can get 1.5 points always, you’ll be getting 2.5 with these offers. All other cards which earn 1x always will get 2x with these offers.
It’s also nice to stack this offer with an Amex Offer deal, like if you’re taking advantage of the $30 off $300 deal at Best Buy, use a registered MR card to get the double points from this offer as an added bonus.
If you have the Blue Business Plus card, you’ll get 3x total after enrolling in these offers. You might not see Amex Offers on the BfBP card, but you can enroll using the direct link, above (HT: FM). This will only work if you don’t already have those offers saved on another Amex card, e.g. if BfBP is in it’s own login.
