,American Express Shopping Promotions with NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER, and Hotel Cashback deals at Hyatt, Millennium Hotels, Wyndham Hotels, and The Unlimited Collection
Shopping Promotion and Hotel Cashback guide
To snag these American Express Shopping Promotions and Hotel Deals, card holders must
(i) Log into the AMEX app or online accounts to Save The Offer to the card.
(ii) Hit spending tier at participating online retailers or hotels. Do be careful especially a hotels – some may specify that the spend must be made ‘in person’ – so doing a fully paid online booking would disqualify you.
The 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 hotel and shopping promotions are available).
Personally, among all my credit cards, the American Platinum Charge card is my favourite one. For more information on the card itself, check out this post right here:

Shopping Promotions and Hotel Deals Commentary
This isn’t the first time that American Express has offered shopping promotions and especiallyhotel discounts. Periodically, such deals do appear – around the 3rd quarter of 2021, I’ve written a similar piece on a list of Hotel Discounts offered by Amex as well.
also seen equally attractive promotions for Waldorf Astoria and Conrad. Likewise, Hilton Hotels do repeatedly have similar offers. I love being surprised – opening the app to find good offers here and there absolutely makes my day – and it’s one of the reasons why I highly recommend American Express.
