We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

On Again, Off Again: AMEX Offers With Multiple Cards Are 100% Dead

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    There’s been a lot of confusion about redeeming AMEX Offers through multiple cards in the last few weeks.  For a while, it stopped working.  Then the trick kinda came back for select offers.  But then it didn’t.

    By now, we can tell you for sure that you can only use AMEX Offers on 1 of your AMEX cards, even if the same offer appears on multiple cards.  Plus, if you’re somehow able to add an offer to more than 1 card, that’s NOT necessarily a good thing!

    If you’re new to AMEX Offers, they’re targeted statement credits or bonus points you can earn when you add an offer and make a qualifying purchase with an American Express card.

    Here’s a list of the best American Express cards for 2018, all of which qualify you for AMEX Offers.

    AMEX Offers Have Given Us a Lot Over the Years.  But Now It’s 1 Offer at a Time Across All Your Cards

    I’ll explain!

    AMEX Offers Are Now Single-Use Only

    We let you know as soon as it became harder to add the same AMEX Offer to multiple cards.

    But shortly after, folks found they could still add certain offers to more than 1 card.  And they used them more than once!

    AMEX did NOT like that and clawed back rebates out of customers’ hands, saying each offer is meant to be redeemed one time – and one time only!

    If You Added an AMEX Offer to More Than 1 Card, Do NOT Use It Multiple Times. AMEX Might Snatch Back Any Discounts You Got!

    In fact, many folks reported being charged back for discounts they got for using an offer on more than 1 card!

    So if you’re able to add an offer you find to multiple cards in some way, I recommend only using it once.  Or you may find yourself with a charge on your account for going against the rules.

    Bottom Line

    The past couple of weeks have been a confusing time for AMEX Offers.  But what has come to light is AMEX wants you to add an offer to just 1 card.

    Any workaround to add the same offer to multiple cards is dead.  And if you do find a way to add an offer to more than 1 card, I don’t recommend using it more than one time because AMEX has been snatching bonuses right back!

    Being able to use AMEX Offers multiple times was a trick that persisted for years in the miles & points world.  And while all deals eventually die, I’m sad to see this particular opportunity go the way of the dodo.

    If you’re new to AMEX Offers, check out our post on how AMEX Offers work.  And here’s a list of the best American Express cards which can qualify you for these deals!
