I ordered Dell products through Aeroplan e-Store, on May 30
Received item June 4th
Charged appeared on Amex account on Jun 3rd
Credited to my Amex acct: $250.00 on Jun 6th
Aeroplan credited my regular points + 5X Miles Promotion.
But their terms says the all these credits will be applied after December 31 2020, within first three months.
Pretty much everyone’s credits has been posting within a few business days of the purchase.
I have a bunch of stuff I can’t get in the US I want to get. FedEx can ship it all for $331 USD. Does anyone know if I spend this, will I get the full $270 credit in one shot?
Yup; I’ve got a free Samsung smart watch (249.99 + a usb cable 5.99) on the way. Thanks DELL + AMEX. Note that you don’t even need to spend $250 before tax since the requirement is 250 ‘AFTER taxes total’ so enjoy! Update: I called in (after I ordered) and talked to a rep at AMEX who confirmed that my purchase would qualify. She also left a note on my account guaranteeing I’ll get the credit.
Fedex .. I do have occasional shipping needs so I’m sure I’ll benefit from some of that credit this year.
I’m trying going to pre pay my phone bill as suggested. Again; thanks AMEX. As always they have great promotions.
Could I apply for the Amex biz now and get these statement credit offers?
It seems like most new applicants haven’t been receiving the offers. I’m not sure what the cutoff date is, but I have one data point of someone who applied on May 13 who didn’t get the offers. Seems like it’s geared towards cardholders who are closer to their renewal date to encourage them to renew.
Looks like the Dell $250 statement credit will be posted to your account within 90 days after August 27, 2020. "You can earn a maximum of $ 250 (CAD) in statement credits per registered Card during the offer period. Statement credit will be applied to your registered Card account within 90 days after 27/08/2020,provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase(s)."
The rep at AMEX i talked to on Friday hinted that if you do your purchase you can likely expect the credit sooner than indicated in the T&C
Many people ordered on the first day and have received their Dell credits already. "Within 90 days after 27/08/2020" simply refers to the latest possible date for the credits to post.
this offer junk. what you doing with fedex or crappy dell laptop
I really don’t see any way to get value out of the fedex credits, myself.
Does automatic monthly withdrawal from telecom/cell phone providers qualify for the offer?
It should!
“If you’ve received a 10% back offer on a separate Amex card, not your Business Platinum Card, then you can always use the split payments feature to take advantage of both offers in one fell swoop!”
If the 10% is in my biz edge, and i do a split payment with my biz plat, the 10% credit will only be on the portion that is charged to my biz edge. Am I right? In this case, it’s not a really enticing offer to combine as there’s no $250 statement credit on my biz edge? Am i missing something?
Correct. If you’re buying a $300 item, you may as well split payments and get a 10% discount on the extra $50 – that’s the logic.
Reviewing the Amex fine print "terms" on these offers I noted that Dell credit will show up 90 days AFTER the date stated, which I think is your renewal date. For the Fedex and mobile credits it state that those credits will be applied after 12/31.20….or did I misread.
Most of the times, the credit has posted within a few days of the accompanying charge. I’d be surprised if that’s different in this case.
I noticed that following the dell.ca/amex site to search will give you the "work" site, which only gives you 2% Rakuten CB. To be on the safe side I’d much rather lose the 6% CB, than to lose the $250 AMEX credit 🙂 Nevertheless with how good AMEX is, I wont be surprised if they will just give you the credits anyway.
How did you find the amex offers? Got the email, but when i log into amex.com there are no offers showing.
Should be at the bottom of your dashboard when you look at your Business Platinum Card.
Also, if you do have a business, these are all expensable 😀
Just wondering if anyone knows if I could pay a different persons, my daughter, cell phone bill through my Amex business card.
Yes you may!
I actually believe the dell Amex site is different from the regular dell site with 8% cash back.
If you install the rakuten browser is extension, it will only show 2% on the Amex dell site. If you go to the regular site, activate 8% then go straight to the Amex site, the rakuten extension will reset and prompt you to activate 2% instead. So it knows it’s different.
You can always just activate a 8% trip then manually request a adjustment afterwards, but ymmv if that will work
If the dell purchase must be completed through dell.ca/amex, how can we stack it with the ebates 8%? I believe you have to click on the ebates dell website link, right?
For the 10% credit on amex offers, i was also redirected to a specific section of the dell.ca site but at the end, i received the statements credit for every purchases i made. So i guess it will be the same here. I just don’t know if the 10% off credit will stack with the 250$ credit but we’ll see. At least, today, Rakuten will be very generous with me.
Like I mentioned, the dell.ca/amex only takes you to a generic landing page, so I don’t think you have to click through that link for the statement credit to trigger. You’d click through the Rakuten link instead.
Offer is for purchases made online at http://www.dell.ca/amex or made with a Dell Technologies Advisor by phone at 1-800-296-7154, and only valid on orders paid for in CAD and shipped within Canada.
