AMEX offers better perks compared to other credit cards? Saving money possible through American Express

Oct 22, 2015 07:19 AM EDT

Cardholders can earn numerous valuable points and miles by just using a solid travel rewards credit card for everyday expenses, but American Express cards allegedly offer opportunities to save money. And just recently, it is said that Amex cardholders can easily access a variety of discounts online compared to other cards.

There are myriad of ways to take advantage of discounts with your personal or business American Express card. Users also pointed out the three main methods for finding offers that can save money using your Amex card: First is through online offers in a personal account. Another is the Amex offers on Twitter (often known as "Sync"). Then, the Amex offers on Facebook. Seemingly, each of these options requires a bit of legwork on  the part of the user, but the discounts would go up to 40%, so it can definitely be worthwhile. 

Recently, Carrabba's was offering a discount on Hilton official website for the Hilton HHonors Card from American Express, as mentioned on Hilton official website. Some of the cardholders took advantage of this offer, and it purportedly appeared in the Added to Card section of their online accounts. And now, clients claim that the offer now shows as Redeemed in their accounts, although according to the terms of the offer, the actual $10 statement credit may take up to 90 days from the expiration date of the discount.

The Hilton Amex does offer 5x Hilton HHonors points at restaurants, but TPG's most recent valuations fix HHonors points at only 0.5 cents respectively, giving a return of 2.5%. Chase claimed that when they used the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, they would earn 2 Ultimate Rewards points per dollar for a much healthier return of 4.2%. However, saving $10 on a purchase of approximately $45 was easily claimed by the users.

Some of card users also utilize the Platinum Delta SkyMiles Credit Card and observe some unique offers, including a 25% discount for a stay of two nights or longer at the Smyth Tribeca. However, if a client does have the same offer on two or more different American Express cards, the customer may often be able to add the offer to both accounts and earn the discount on each one.

Moreover, with Amex Offers one can reportedly save on everyday purchases at clothing stores, supermarkets, gas stations, and more. AMEX Offers are actually a great added perk for cards that already come with great sign-up bonuses and category spending bonuses.  And users can even get these discounts with cards just like AMEX Business Platinum, AMEX SimplyCash, AMEX Starwood, and The Business Gold Rewards Card From American Express OPEN, as mentioned on American Express official account.

While some cardholders think that each deal may not seem like much, it can really add up in their accounts. They can view how much they have saved on the card with AMEX Offers by logging into their own accounts and clicking the "Savings" tab at the bottom of the page.
