I’ve written many times about what a great program Amex Offers is and how much money you can save by redeeming them. Amex offers are one of my favorite things about holding multiple American Express cards. I have saved thousands of dollars on clothing, dining, hotels, airfare, and more. These can be found on any American Express card simply by navigating to the offers section on the site or app.

I have used several in the past when booking airfare on various airlines. A new offer just popped up and I was targeted for it on The Platinum Card® from American Express. This is the perfect card for this to hit as I’ll earn 5x points per $1 spent up to $500,000 on airfare per calendar year. It will appear on your statement as a credit. Flights must originate in the US.

Anthony’s Take: Always check your account for new offers. If you have plans to fly Icelandair and are targeted, add this one before booking.

Anthony’s Credit Card Pick: I love the lounges where The Platinum Card® from American Express grants me access and many of the other benefits. It has had a prominent place in my wallet for many years now. While it does have an annual fee of $695, it provides many travel benefits and will always be my go-to for lounge access (both Delta Sky Clubs® and Centurion Lounges) and booking airfare from the airlines to earn 5x points (up to $500,000 per calendar year).
