American Express recently rolled out another wave of targeted offers. This time, Amex is rewarding big spending. Some members are getting offers that effectively boost their earning rate by 1 point per $1 ratio. However, other offers only give 1 extra point per nearly $10 spent. Either way, you'll need to spend thousands of dollars to take advantage of any of these Amex Offers promotions.

Our Take
For the most part, these offers are pretty bad. Sure, a few members are getting 1 point per $1 spent—and some with a low threshold. However, one cardmember reported needing to spend nearly $200k before getting a 10 to 1 ratio. Also, one member reported never seeing the bonus points in their account after the last promotion.
