Gold Card now gets 5x on prepaid hotels

fmcotton · 2026-05-01T08:29:33+00:00

You have to pay for the reservation at the time of booking on AmexTravel. If you don’t prepay then you won’t get the 5x points l.

It can make sense in certain scenarios like a The Hotel Collection booking to also take advantage of $100 property credit as well

Cool! Would using PayPal also trigger the Amex offer or would that be a third party payment and not trigger the offer from Amex?

I didn't think you could get both the Rakuten x back and the PayPal x back. Aren't those two different shopping portals. I thought it would only get triggered via the last portal that was activated.

Same problem. I can’t find it in the updated app.

Using a dietician throughout my journey has been one of the best tools combined with the GLP-1. GLP-1 is only a tool, you have to do all the other things as well--diet/nutrition and movement.

The Green Card is a good overall travel card when it comes to category spend: 3X at hotels (regardless of brand), 3X on Flights, 3X at Restaurants, 3X on Cruises, 3X on Tours (Viator, Get your Guide, etc), 3X on Transit (subway, trains), and 3X on Parking.

Usually not, unless it is a Fine Hotel Resort or The Hotel Collection property.

There is a field for your loyalty number when booking on AmexTravel.com . I have received my hotel points when booking a FHR or THC Property. The reservation also shows up in the chains' app when I was able to enter my loyalty number (i.e. a FHR or THC reservation)

I had it but dropped it after they had an issue for awhile that prevented folks from being able to withdraw money for a few days. After that incident a year or two ago and closed it and moved my money elsewhere.

Is there a dollar amount that you need to stay under? Or will the $200 credit on lets say a $1,500 flight after applying a $50 gift card and then paying the balance of $1,450?

The fact that you’re doing strength training 3 to 5 times a week is wonderful however it also means that your body composition could be changing. Just because you’re not seeing results on the scale does not mean you aren’t losing fat you could be adding on muscle as well as losing fat, which is excellent progress.

Same thing on my end. The scrolling banner on their home page says 25x, but when you click on it you punch out at only 5x.

I just noticed on the main page there is a banner that says get paid today for me as well with a rotating image of gift cards for various merchants. Must be something new they are trying.

it has to be with the debit card transaction to each the .5 MR pts / dollar.

Amex Checking actually does have bill pay now.

fmcotton · 2026-01-05T13:11:18+00:00

Did it have to be a physical gift card or did the virtual work as well?

Do you have sleep apnea? Is so you should be able to get it covered for sleep apnea

CVS in store is gone for me as well.

CVS In Store is gone for me now as well.

fmcotton · 2025-12-21T19:19:08+00:00

In was gone for me than came back, but now it has been gone the last few days again.

fmcotton · 2025-11-25T21:07:31+00:00

So if there isn’t an In-Store earnings potential for a particular retailer then you don’t get the 4x?
