This offer follows the familiar structure Amex has used in previous targeted promotions, including the Feb 2023 and Jan 2024 spend-based campaigns. The mechanics are straightforward: meet your personalised target within the campaign window and receive eVouchers as a reward. The effective cashback or value translates to roughly 3% on qualifying spends in many cases, in addition to the card’s usual reward earnings.
Many cardholders will see varied targets. Depending on your historic usage, Amex assigns different thresholds—some higher, some lower. In certain instances, there are additional incentives aimed at international transactions that add a small extra benefit for foreign currency spending.
For me, the offer included a relatively high target this time, and there appears to be a secondary incentive designed to encourage international spending. That secondary benefit is modest—an incremental 1% on foreign currency spends in the example shown—which may not be compelling enough for everyone to change behaviour solely for that bonus.
As with past Amex promotions, there are multiple variants of this offer. Some cardholders with lower historical spend received smaller, more achievable targets that reward with partner vouchers—for example, cinema vouchers—instead of large eVouchers.
Final Thoughts
Overall, this is a solid targeted promotion that delivers roughly a 3% return on incremental spend in many scenarios, on top of normal card rewards. While the structure remains attractive for consumers who can meet their personalised threshold within the offer window, it’s notable that the effective bonus on these campaigns has softened slightly compared with earlier years.
If you did not receive an offer, that could be because your historical spend is outside the range Amex targets—either relatively low or very high—so offers are tailored accordingly.
If you are considering applying for an American Express card now, promotions often include first-year fee waivers on selected products, making it a reasonable time to sign up if the card benefits match your needs.
