Amex has been filling their Offers tab with quite a few travel related offers over the last week or so. That is really nice to see as not all travel is going to be “free” travel – with miles and points. There are many times that we do need to pay for travel (or choose to pay because of a bad point redemption value) and these Amex Offers will certainly help with that.
Some of the below offers I have written about when they came out but because there are so many now, I thought I would include the previous hotel offers with the new offers so that you can see them all at once and check your particular cards for those offers.
Some of these are targeted offers so check every one of your Amex cards to see if you have it on any of them.
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!
To maximize it, add 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.

I wanted to use my companion pass one last time for a post-Christmas vacation. Using a combination of variable load southwest gift cards and the Amex offer can get you down to $300 exactly for a southwest purchase. The Amex offer kicked in, and even if your plans change you can use the southwest credit for a different flight.
Great use for it! Nice deal making.
