 American Express Membership Rewards is one of the great flexible points currency which can be used by transferring to variety of Airlines / Hotels program and in the current COVID-19 situation you can even use it for gift cards redemption such as Home Depot or Best Buy. American Express Referral Offer is one of the best way to earn some valuable Membership Rewards points quickly. While American Express limits annual referral credits to $550 or 55,000 Membership Rewards points or other co-branded points currency, it has variable offer per referral based on the type of card you have. One of the best offer's for Membership Rewards Points earning is on either of their Amex Platinum or Business Platinum Card or Amex Gold Card. To top it currently till 10/28/2020 American Express has special offer for referrer where they can earn additional 3x points for next 3 months of their spend after the referred friend is approved. This is in addition to the fixed bonus points offer available for referral. For e.g. currently my Amex Gold Card would earn additional 3x points on all purchases for 3 months in addition to fixed bonus points of 25,000 Membership Rewards points after I have successful referral. The best part is the referred friend usually also sees better credit card earning offer as well compared to otherwise available public offers and thus a win-win for both!!  My current offer of 25k MR points + 3x additional bonus points offer for referral!! One of the great things about Amex Referral Offer is that the referred friend can open any other card from Amex portfolio and is not limited to the card which referrer refers him to. The referred friend just needs to "click on the referral link --> View all cards with referral offer --> All personal cards " and select the card for which he/she needs to apply. Also some of these credit cards now have "6 months to meet the minimum spend offer"
In addition Amex Cards comes with great Amex Offers program some of which we have covered here and here. So, check your American Express cards and if you know of friend who is looking for a new credit card than now would be the best time to refer!!

 Amex Shop Small is already underway but you can still enroll your Amex card in this promotion till 08/23/2020. Through this promotion you can earn $5 back for any purchase of $10+ at participating small business merchant for purchases made till 09/20/2020. $5 cashback at small business can be earned 10x times, so in total you can earn $50 cashback with this offer. You can search your nearby small business merchant here.
The best part is that this promotion is available as an Amex Offer which can be even added to Amex prepaid products such as Amex Serve / BlueBird. You may also be able to add this Amex Offer to other co-branded credit card's if you have them such as Wells Fargo Propel Amex Card. You might be surprise to find merchants which you might think are not small business but a qualifying purchase with them would earn you the $5 credit. For e.g. qualifying purchases at eGifter would earn you $5 credit where you can buy different egift cards. You can find additional surprise merchant's info on this DoctorOfCredit post. You can find complete offer terms here. Disclaimer: Some of the links used in the post may be referral links and earn referral to this site. We appreciate you supporting the website.  American Express has one of the common benefit across all credit cards which is called Amex Offers. These offers provide discount in the form of statement credit or membership rewards points for purchase at certain merchants. While some of these offers are targeted, most of them are available to all customers. The offers usually have rebate in the range of 10% to 25% depending on the merchant. American Express also provides "Amex Offers for travel". Below are some of the offers available as of now.     As you can see they are different offers available with hotels and airlines. For hotel offers, although you need to make booking online you can pay with the card enrolled in the offer at the time of check out. This also present's a nice stacking opportunity. For e.g. Hilton Honors Aspire Card provides $250 resort credit every year at participating resorts. This could easily stack with the $100 back on $500 spend on Hilton Brand Hotels in Europe if you have that offer added to your Hilton Credit Card and use it for paying at the participating resorts in Europe.
The other example of possible stack is if you have Delta Offer above of $40 back on $200 which can stack with the Companion ticket which comes with Platinum Delta Skymiles or Delta Reserve credit card. Since American Express only allows one Amex Offer of given type across all American Express card on person's name, it would be best to add the offer to the credit card where you can possibly stack. So, next time you see any travel Amex Offers do not forget to add it to the card where you can maximize it!!
