Calling all American Express Cardholders!

Log in to your American Express account and check the “Amex Offers & Benefits” section as you may have offers to save at several stores including a rare offer for Etsy plus an offer to save at Staples that includes non-Staples (plastic) gift cards!

I think the Staples offer is good on non-Staples e-gift cards. It just says that it excludes Staples branded e-gift cards.

Also, to apply the offer to all of your Amex cards that show the offer, open a new browser window for each account and select that account (so you have an open window for each account) and THEN add the offer to each account. If you only have one account open, it will add the offer to that account and then that offer will disappear on your other accounts.

Gap Options cards are 20% off at staples.online. Deal idea: Buy one $100 for $80 and one $25 for $20. Pay $100 get back $20 credit from Amex. Your getting $125.00 for only $80.00!!!

There’s also an Amazon promo going on. It’s $25 off a $50 purchase when you use some of your rewards points to pay on Amazon. I did it last night. I only used 200 Amex rewards points as a partial payment and was given $25 off my $50 purchase. Pretty awesome!

Yes Maggie I would like to know too how this works.

I guess it’s a targeted promo — only certain Amazon users get it and it’s only for products sold by Amazon. Here are the instructions I found online:
If you Membership Rewards earning card is already linked this might work.
Go to Amazon.online
Add $50 or more of eligible products sold and shipped by Amazon.online to your shopping cart
Enter the promo code AMEX16EVER in the box provided on the checkout page and pay for at least a portion of your order (as little as 1 MR point) with Membership Rewards points
Up to $25 of savings will be reflected on the final order checkout page

AmEx also offers cash back for Boxed.online from time to time (I currently have a $15 cash back on $50 purchase offer) AND Ibotta has a cash back offer as well. My first order was a steal! I highly reonlinemend checking them out :)AmEx customers also get a free upgrade to Boxed Bold, which gives you free shipping on orders $20+. Use my link to sign up: https://boxed.online/invite/ltoci or just enter code ltoci to get $15 off your first $60 purchase.

Itunes gift cards are 15% off on Staples, so $150 in gcs amounted to $107.50 after the Amex offer (for which I’ve already received a confirmation email). Plus I used Shop at Home for 6% cash back.

No cash-back via Shop at Home (or any other rebate sites) on gift card purchases.

Tina, inform us when you get the statement credit.
I did same with hayneedle.online offer. I bought a gift certificate for $150, and bought kitchen aid artisan for $279, added drawer organizer for $21, paid with my husband’s amex card. Like I bought mixer for $220, and received a free meat grinder attachment as a rebate. I hope it works for staples too.
