American Express offering 5% additional rewards on purchases through January 10, 2023.

American Express has launched a new promotion on the occasion of the upcoming holiday season, offering their card members an opportunity to earn additional rewards for their purchases. Remember, this might be a targeted offer, so not all members would have received it.

New Year Promotion is offering bonus vouchers over and above everyday rewards earned through January 10, 2023.

American Express has launched a new promotion, offering bonus vouchers over and above the regular reward points for purchases made through January 10, 2023.

The best part of this promotion is that even vouchers will count towards the spending to fulfil this promotion.

Spends on the Supplementary Card(s) will only be accounted for under the Basic Card. Spends will be considered based on the transaction initiation date and only after the enrolment is completed.

The fulfilment e-voucher will be fulfilled to your registered email address with American Express on or before May 10, 2023.

Bottomline

American Express is offering select members an additional voucher on completing a minimum spend between December 3, 2022, and January 10, 2023. The value is 5% over and above the regular spending rewards. Enrolment is required via a unique link sent in your email. This is a lucrative offer if you believe in the power of Membership Rewards points as I do. And an additional 5% reward is a nice add-on to encourage members to spend more.

  1. For some reason – mmt spends are showing up as 1x category even after going through the portal in Rewards Activity. I had bought some vouchers & it shows 5x for those but not mmt. Am I missing something?

    Regards

  2. Hey Ajay,

    I had received this offer from AmEx few days ago on my MRCC where if one spends 25k or more then a voucher worth Rs 1250 could be availed.
