• Home Chef teamed up with American Express to offer 2,000 Membership Rewards points on each of your first 4 orders.

The Fine Print

Offer only valid for select U.S. American Express Card Members with a Card enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program (‘Eligible Card Members’). Card Members who have only a Corporate Card enrolled in the Membership Rewards program or whose Corporate Card is enrolled in the Corporate Membership Rewards program are not Eligible Card Members. Eligible Card Members who have never ordered from https://www.homechef.com will receive 2,000 Additional Membership Rewards® points when they log in using their American Express online account credentials on their first Home Chef Box order made on https://www.homechef.com (a “First Order”). In addition, Eligible Card Members who make up to three additional Home Chef Box orders after making a First Order will receive 2,000 Additional Membership Rewards® points per Home Chef Box order, with a maximum of 8,000 Additional Membership Rewards® points made on https://www.homechef.com. Eligible Card Members must use their enrolled Card at checkout to receive the additional points. Offer does not apply to customers using Google Wallet, Paypal or Venmo. Points will be awarded within 8 to 12 weeks after receipt by American Express of the eligible purchase information. Purchases may fall outside of the offer period in some cases due to a delay in merchants submitting transactions to American Express. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible for the offer, you will not receive the additional points.

New customers only. Additional Membership Rewards points will be awarded for First Orders and up to three additional Home Chef Box orders by any Additional Card Member on the Eligible Card Member’s Card account, provided the Additional Card Member charges such orders to the Additional Card. May not be combined with other offers. May not be used for gift cards. Not redeemable for cash. Not eligible in all states. Shipping available in the contiguous U.S. only. The shipping policy and general Terms & Conditions applicable to all https://www.homechef.com orders can be found at https://www.homechef.com/terms

Our Verdict

This is only for new members joining the first time. There’s no mention of saving the offer, apparently you just use an AmEx Membership Rewards card and the AmEx system will automatically detect the order and add the points (?).

Looks like this should stack with the offer to get $50 back on $50 purchase with the AmEx Platinum card that a lot of people have. That one works for three orders of $50 each, so you should be able to order via the AmEx link, above, and get an extra 6,000 points too, I’d think. Might be able to stack this with a promo code or the military discount too.

Note: you can alternatively go through Swagbucks on the first order and get $35 currently. Swagbucks is also showing discounts on the first 4 orders ($30, $30, $15, $15). My guess is that Swagbucks these discounts won’t stack with the AmEx landing page offer. Possibly the Swagbucks $35 portal offer will track if you click through and then navigate to the AmEx page, but the subsequent discounts might not stack, so you’re likely getting the 2,000 points in place of those discounts.

I haven’t tried out these stacks, it’s just speculation. Please comment below what works and what does not.
