Who loves Shopping and Dining discounts?

Previously, I blogged about American Express has offered its Platinum Charge Card holders a complimentary SGD350 worth of dining credits. While that deal was limited to Platinum Charge card holders, this one is for all American Express Card holders.

Various Shopping and Dining promotions by American Express

To snag these shopping and dining discounts, American Express cardholders must

(i) Log into the AMEX app or online accounts to Save The Offer and

(ii) Spend at Participating shopping and dining establishments.

The Dining 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 shopping and dining discounts are available.

(The caveat: keeping track of which card has already been used in a specific spending :P)

Shopping and Dining Discounts Commentary

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.

Note: After using the American Express Platinum Charge card for over a year, I’ve also written a REVIEW to evaluate the card after this time – do check out my post-one year usage review right here!
