Amex Promotions: of late 2021
Amex Promotions galore! The past few months, a slew of promotions popped up for American Express credit card holders.
For example, I blogged about how American Express has offered its Platinum Charge Card holders a complimentary SGD350 worth of dining credits. Following that came additional blog posts on the various hotel deals (Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, and more!) and other dining and shopping perks.
For an entire list of the Platinum Charge Card’s benefits, check out this post instead:
For November and December 2021, here are the latest Amex promotions to have appeared on the amex app.
Amex Promotions for November to December 2021
Claiming Amex Promotions
To snag these deals, American Express cardholders must
(i) Log into the AMEX app or online accounts to Save The Offer and
(ii) Spend at participating locations
The credits will be credited to card holders in the form of a cashback.
Pro Tip: if you have more than one American Express credit card, you can save ALL Amex Promotions to each card, subject to availability. For me, I have THREE cards – The Platinum Charge card, the Platinum Reserve Card, and the Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Ascend Card – and ALL three cards show that these American Express promotions are available.

Which Amex card should I get?
Those who know me will know that I always recommend the American Express Platinum Charge card – it’s my favourite card; the benefits (for dining, hotels, travel, and more) are pretty awesome.
I’ve recently writen a piece comparing the benefits of the Platinum Charge card for 2020 and 2021 – and you can check that out here.
Amex Platinum Charge Card benefits: a comparison between 2021 vs 2020 benefits from American Express
Minimally, I love how American Express randomly throws in shopping and dining promotions, or offers hotel discounts/rebates every now and then (check this post out for deals at Hilton, Marriott Bonvoy, Hyatt, and more!) – it’s awesome to check the app sometimes and see that a surprise is waiting for you.
If you just want a card purely for dining benefits only (particularly for the Love Dining benefits – where one can dine at hotels or eat at high end restaurants at up to 50% off). the regular Platinum credit card (not platinum charge card works perfectly.
Alternatively, the Amex Krisflyer cards work well as general spending cards – they are a great way to accumulate Krisflyer miles.
Can’t decide? Go YOLO, get ALL the cards… and enjoy every single benefit. Lol.
