There’s a great new Amex Offer to save on gas this summer just in time to head out on a road trip or two!
The Deal
Check your accounts for this deal: Save $5 on $30+ purchase at the pump at Conoco, Phillips 66, or 76 gas station. Repeat up to three times. We have at least two road trips coming up this summer, so I’ll definitely hit up one of these stations to save. Unfortunately, we only have the offer on one of our three cards.
Checking Your Offers
Every week when I do my budget, I have American Express open in one of my Budget browser tabs. (Why does Chrome ask me if I really want to open 19 more tabs? Yes, I want to have as many tabs open as I need, dang it!) Anyway, we have three American Express cards: Blue Cash Preferred, Hilton Surpass, and Bonvoy Business. Each of them qualify for Amex Offers, and although most offers are the same across all of the cards, they do vary a bit, for instance, getting targeted on the business cards for more business-like expenses.
Saving Money
It used to be that you could add offers to each card (owner, plus authorized users) individually using an incognito browser. Ahh, those were the good old days, especially when they had an offer like Spend $25 at Smart & Final and get $25 Back Times 3, or even the more recent one of Spend $25 at Starbucks, get $5 Back would be valuable to hit as many times as possible. However, Amex caught on, and now you can only add each offer to one card, either owner or authorized user. I recommend having a separate login for each authorized user still, because then you can choose who gets which offer. Although, I have also noticed that they can even vary from card owner to authorized user.
Referral
The links in this article are referrals from me or Bryan. You can choose which card you apply for, even if it’s not the same one we have. We will get bonus points for referring you, and you will get whatever bonus is available for that card. Win-win!
