American Express’ Mega Cashback offer for their Platinum & Centurion Cardmembers

American Express has launched a new promotion to promote everyday spending on the American Express Platinum Card. This promotion is the second after American Express earlier promotion giving Double Amex Membership Rewards Points was launched earlier in April 2020. Here are all the details about the new Amex Platinum Cashback Offer, in case you were not targetted the last time around or were not an American Express Platinum Charge Cardmember then.

Get up to INR 12,500 cashback with More Value on Platinum offer.

The new promotion offers a 100% cashback for online & offline spends between September 23 and December 22, 2020. This offer is open for Platinum cardmembers for cards issued in India, and the maximum cap on the cashback is INR 12,500 through the promotion period. Payment needs to be made in Indian currency and is valid for purchases at the following e-retailers online or in-app or offline (at participating outlets). Excludes Flipkart payments made on delivery.

The list of stores where the offer is valid is here.

This offer is open only for cardholders who have been targetted for the offer. To check your eligibility for this offer, cardholders must log in to their American Express online account, check under their Amex Offers and then save the offer on their card. There is no minimum spending amount, and 100% cashback will be applied every time until the INR 12,500 limit is reached.  The reimbursement should reflect in your billing statement within five working days. I have received this offer on my Platinum Charge Card. Additionally, a lot of Platinum cardmembers haven’t yet received an email from Amex, but the offer is showing up in their account. Centurion Cardmembers also get the same privilege, albeit with an INR 25,000 limit.

If you don’t have the American Express Platinum Card, maybe it is a good idea to apply now as you would perhaps still get the offer and a lot of time to use it if you get your card soon. With our offer, you get a 110,000 Membership Reward Points on completing a minimum spend.

Bottomline

This is an excellent promotion from American Express, where they are just not rewarding cardholders for high-value purchases but also allowing earning cashback on everyday grocery and essential spends. Coupled with last offer, it just goes on to prove that American Express is trying to give as much value to their members while they are not travelling much and staying at home as well.

  1. Ajay Sir,
    Based on the site reviews, i applied for this card last October… have got good benefits including this offer. FLIPKART 18k + 12.5K cashback, double redemption of points. Thank you for the regular updates.

    But one benefit was turned down by AMEX for me is MARRIOT GOLD status, citing some issues. But due to the pandemic i havent visited any hotel to get AMEX benefits.

    Need your advise whether to renew the card.

  2. HI Ajay,

    I received the offer as well. I think there is a typo error, the offer is valid till 22-Dec-2020 and not October.
