    New Amex Offers for Double Membership Rewards Points

    American Express has come out with a number of new offers on their cards that earn Membership Rewards. For select online retailers, you can earn 2x Membership Rewards points on your purchases through December 31, 2016. These offers are not as lucrative as the cash incentives we often see with this program, but I might consider using an Amex card for some of these purchases for the extra point. In addition, you can stack these offers by shopping via an online portal for even more rewards. The Amex Offers program is one of my favorite credit card perks.

    New Amex Offer – $60 Off $300 at Hilton Hotels

    Yesterday, I wrote about an American Express offer to save $50 on you next $250 hotel stay. That offer is targeted to certain cardholders. Today, a new public Amex offer became available for $60 off your next $300 stay at a Hilton hotel. This offer is available via the Twitter hashtag #AmexHilton and via the “Offers for You” section of your americanexpress.com account. Since I was targeted for yesterday’s offer, I suddenly have the urge to book a weekend stay at a Hilton hotel. I see no reason why a $300 bill won’t trigger BOTH credits totalling $110. That amounts to a savings of up to 36%! The Details Note…
