Amex Offer: Spend $300 or More, Get $50 Back on Delta Stays

I’ve written tons about Amex Offers 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. While there are savings to be had, not all Amex Offers are worth it.

Spend $300 or More, Get $50 Back

Get a one-time $50 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible card to spend a minimum of $300 in one or more purchases on pre-paid Delta Stays at Delta Stays online at travelextras-delta.com/Hotels by 12/31/2023.

Delta has a travel portal powered by Expedia. You can book hotels, vacation homes, and rental cars through its Travel Extras site, but I won’t be doing this anytime soon. When I stay in a hotel, I want my night credited to the loyalty program, my points, and the benefits associated with the loyalty program. I guess I could use it if I had a stay in the next month at an independent hotel, but I wouldn’t go out of my way when in my eyes I’ll easily lose more than $50 in value.

If you have an immediate need, there is one other way to make this work. Delta Travel Extras is running a Cyber Monday deal that ends today. With it, you get 2,000 bonus SkyMiles for spending $200 (or more) or 4,000 bonus SkyMiles on bookings over $400. Car rentals and stays must be completed by January 15th and this must be booked today (November 29th).

Anthony’s Take: This is one that I’m going to skip. I’ll continue to book my hotels directly as I want all of my benefits and points. I also rarely spend over $300 on a car rental.
