Amex Offer: $15 Back on $75 At eBags + Discounts and Portals

Amex Offer
Written by Charlie

Amex has pushed out a new Offer today and it is a store they have had offers from in the past – eBags. While prices on some items may not be the best there, the combination of portal points and discount codes (which work as they are offered on the eBags website) can work great with the cashback offer from Amex Offers. If you are in the market for some travel gear of some kind, this offer may work great to get you what you need.

Amex Offer: $15 Back on $75 eBags Purchase

A great thing about this deal is that it will be around until the middle of June and eBags is famous for having high portal payouts (23x united miles just last year and 35x aa miles in 2013). Not only that, but they also publish great discount codes to take even more off of your purchase. With all of that combined, you can get some gear from eBags with what could be an effective 50-60% off the original price (not even taking into account product sales)!

Accessing the Amex Offer

Log in to your American Express account and click on any of the cards you have in the account. Scroll down to the Offers portion and you should see the following offer waiting for you!

 

Amex offer

Here are the details:

  • Must be used by June 10, 2015
  • Must be used online
  • Enrollment limited (in other words, save this offer to your card now)

To maximize itadd the offer to separate cards, simply login to your American Express account and then choose to duplicate the tab (if using Google Chrome) as many times as you have cards. Once they are all open, select a different Amex card in each tab and select to save the offer to the card. This shows up as available on every one of my cards – charge cards, business cards, and personal cards.

Maximizing The Offer

Since you have until June 10 to use this offer, do not rush to do something with this right away. eBags runs sales and promos quite often and the portal payouts should get better the closer we get to the summer travel season. To maximize this deal to get the most for your money, make sure you do these steps:

Sign-up for e-mails

When you visit eBags.com, you will get a pop-up to sign up for their e-mails. Do that and you will receive a 20% off code. While that code cannot be used on all luggage (like higher end name brands), it can be helpful for other purchases.

Amex Offer

Combine the Amex Offer with discounts at eBags.com

Sign-up for their rewards program

You will receive a 5% bonus in the rewards program on everything you buy. This bonus can be used on future purchases.

Check the portals

Check out cashbackmonitor for updates on what eBags is offering through portals. If it is any amount over 15 points/miles per dollar, that is going to be a really decent deal.

Buy a gift card

Even though you cannot combine gift cards, you can purchase one gift card on an Amex card and then pay for the balance of an order using another Amex card (both of them with the eBags offer saved to them).
