When it comes to spend-based offers, one of the chief proponents in the market is American Express. American Express has rolled out spend-based offers as India enters the festive season. We usually don’t write about them because these are targeted. However, this time, the spend-based offers seem to have been rolled out to a broad base of American Express cardmembers.

There is no restriction on where you can spend, and no minimum number of transactions is required. The offer is applicable only to select American Express card members. A Cardmember is eligible for this offer only if they have received an offer communication directly from American Express through any of its channels. Supplementary cardmember spending will also be counted towards the spending made by the primary cardmember.
As part of this offer, Cardmembers can achieve either target independently or through a combination of both. Spends made in foreign currency will count cumulatively towards the other target, allowing Cardmembers to earn both benefits if both targets are met.
Gift Cards will be sent to eligible card members at their registered email addresses with American Express by September 15, 2024. Taj Vouchers will be valid for 150 days from the date of issuance. Coupon codes (to choose between Amazon and Flipkart) will be valid for 30 days from the date of issuance.
