American Express Promotions
I love American Express Promotions.
But then again, who doesn’t?
In September 2020, , 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:
It honestly looks like as Singapore aims to open up the economy, more retailers are trying to entice customers to jump on the shopping bandwagon.
And today, here are the latest American Express Promotions that can be found on the app:
Various American Express Promotions
To snag these shopping cashback discounts, 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 of these 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?
Personally, I always recommend the American Express Platinum Charge card – it’s my favourite card to date as the benefits (for dining, hotels, travel, and more) are pretty hard to rival.
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
At the very least, 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. It is one of the reasons why I love the American Express credit cards so much – and I recommend ANYONE to get one of these cards if they can.
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.
To apply for any of these cards – scroll down for the referral links – any cards you successfully apply through this blog gives you either bonus miles or Membership Rewards points.
