Our Verdict
A friend of mine got these offers, I think they are showing for those in the NYC area. Not sure how many people still use yellow cabs in the Uber/Lyft era, but I’m sure some still do, and the MTA offer is useful for subway riders.

Has anyone actually gotten this to work? I’ve been using tap to pay but just checked my account and I haven’t gotten the 4x for any of my rides.
The MTA offer is not nearly as good as it appears at first look. It’s only for contact-less payments which are an experimental technology in New York available at a tiny number of stations. And it’s only usable when paying for one ride at a time. If it allowed you to charge up your Metrocard it would be easy to max out. As it is, only people who regularly board the train at those stations will be able to use it.
Would never use yellow cab again unless it’s an emergency.
Got both on personal plat. Live in Chicago
Which offer? For your area or for NYC area?
Both MTA & Yellow cabs for NYC but I live in Chicago.
In NYC area, got both offers on my Amex Gold. Tried Apple Pay with my Amex Gold at Grand Central station several times.
Thanks DoC!
MTA offer is quite limited – it requires use of tap-to-pay, which is extremely limited in NYC – very few stations have it.

Added the terms, thanks. I’m not sure if it’s the same terms for the MTA offer.
They’re basically the same. The only other custom terms that are not included in the above post is that eTix is excluded. Hopefully they’ll move the rollout along, https://omny.info/ says late 2020 for full system. I am on the 4/5/6, so I am happy enough.

If you cannot use the contactless feature on your Card or device digital wallet for the purchase for any reason, your purchase will not qualify for the offer. Purchases may fall outside of the offer period in some cases due to a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction (for example, the purchase date for online orders may be the shipping date). If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the additional points. For example, your transaction will not qualify if it is not made directly with the merchant. In addition, in most cases, you may not receive the additional Membership Rewards points if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party.
