2. Get $50 Off $200+ at Rocketmiles Hotels

Link: How to Sign-Up for AMEX Sync Offers
Through AMEX Offers, you can save $50 when you book a $200+ hotel stay through Rocketmiles.
Be sure to book your stay by October 30, 2015.
You can also tweet “#AmexRocketmiles” to add it to your synced AMEX card.
The biggest drawback is you may or may not earn elite status credit when you book through Rocketmiles. But lots of folks report their stays do count, especially if you make a small charge to your room.
You may not earn hotel points for your stays booked through Rocketmiles, either. The best use of the service is for non-hotel chains where you wouldn’t earn miles, points, or elite status credits anyway.
You may also be able to stack this deal with other promotions and discounts, too!
This promotion is valid at any hotel booked online or through the Rocketmiles app. If you have a trip coming up, this is an easy way to save up to 25% and earn more miles or points!
