Stacking the Deal

Amex has an offer going to get $10 off $50 at JCPenney.

jcpenney amex offer

Buying e-gift cards jcpenney.cashstar.com will not trigger the Amex Offer since it’s processed by a third-party. However, a few reports (1, 2, 3) indicate that you can get the $25 JCPenney coupon when buying $100 gift cards in-store as well, although this isn’t explicitly advertised on the offer page.

Using the offer in-store can allow us to double-dip with the Amex Offer and coupon. Purchase $100 JCPenney gift card and split it between two Amex cards for $20 in statement credits + a $25 JCPenney coupon.

Note that the in-store offer reportedly only yields a coupon for in-store purchases and is thus more limited than the online offer; however, this is the only way to go if you are interested in the double-dip.

Our Verdict

The online/in-store stuff is a little confusing, but all-in-all it’s a pretty good deal for JCPenney shoppers.

I don’t seem to have the Amex offer. Is there a way to get it using twitter hastag?

Will JCPenney let you use store gift cards to buy other gift cards (for example Amazon, Nike, etc.)?

Will a purchase from jcpenney.cashstar.com trigger the Amex offer? I had thought that it wouldn’t.
