New Amex offers provide additional value in new categories--TheCreditShifu

As we’re adapting to new ways of living and temporarily working from home,  American Express is introducing new limited-time offers, services and solutions in areas such as: staying connected, dining at home, working and running a business remotely, and supporting small businesses as COVID-19 has impacted more than 60% of the small and mid-size businesses in the U.S., according to a McKinsey Study. 

Starting today, select U.S. Consumer Cards will receive limited-time credits for streaming, wireless services and new points multipliers on U.S. supermarket purchases. Select U.S. Small Business Cards will get access to statement credits on wireless, shipping and Dell Technologies purchases and offers for remote work tools. U.S. Card Members will also have access to a number of exclusive Amex Offers across food and wine delivery services, online retail, business services, supplies and more. 

If you miss your Centurion Lounge access and meals served there, you can also enjoy in-home cooking tips and recipes from American Express Global Dining Collection chefs and some favorite Resy restaurants. In addition, U.S. Consumer Card Members will soon have complimentary access to a one year Premium membership with Calm, the sleep and meditation app.

“We’re so fortunate to serve a membership base of incredibly loyal customers. It was important to us to continue to invest in this loyalty by providing value and support in new ways,” said Doug Buckminster, Group President, Global Consumer Services at American Express. “Our Card Members can now enjoy even more Membership value and save on their purchases while they’re staying at home.”
