Plus: Fly business class to Rio de Janeiro from $1,563 April 20, 2024 [THE POINTS GUY]( [View in browser]( [TPG Daily NEWSLETTER]( [THE POINTS GUY]( Stacking offers by Caroline Tanner, News Reporter [TPG | Hero Image] One of my favorite tips I’ve learned at TPG is that you can earn additional bonus points on purchases simply by taking advantage of a merchant offer, such as through a [shopping portal](. Another easy way to save money with credit cards is by [activating merchant offers on your credit cards](. For example, [all American Express credit cards]( including cobranded airline cards, have access to Amex Offers, allowing cardholders to redeem up to 100 offers from various merchants simultaneously, including on travel. These offers vary but generally require you to do one of four things: - Spend a certain amount of money to get a certain number of bonus points. - Spend a certain amount of money to get a certain amount back. - Get additional points per dollar at select merchants. - Get a certain percentage back by using the link provided. You must usually purchase directly from the merchant to receive the offer after activating it in your Amex account. Remember, you can use Amex Offers in addition to online shopping portals and annual statement credits to earn even more bonus miles or cash back on your everyday purchases. Don’t have an American Express card yet? Check to see if you are targeted for an elevated welcome bonus — up to a [150,000-point offer on The Platinum Card® from American Express]( or a [90,000-point offer on the American Express® Gold Card]( via CardMatch.
