When the Shop Small Amex Offer was launched recently, it wasn’t long before there were data points that gift card purchases from some online retailers and apps were triggering the $5 statement credits when spending $10+.
I’ve already written about how the Fluz app has been working for this offer, but eGifter and Gyft purchases had also apparently been triggering the statement credits. eGifter has now made this official by sending out an email to account holders advising that the Amex Offer will work when spending $10+ or more and paying with an Amex card enrolled in the Shop Small Amex Offer. There’s also an accompanying landing page advertising the offer.
This is good to see as it (hopefully) reduces the likelihood that American Express will try clawing back statement credits for gift card purchases. That being the case, it gives me more confidence that statement credits from Fluz purchases won’t be clawed back.
As it is, Fluz is still a much more appealing option for me because eGifter has canceled every single order I’ve ever placed with them. It’s nice to have options though, especially if you have success with eGifter orders and don’t otherwise have local businesses to use this offer at.
