If you own an American Express card but don't pay regular attention to your Amex Offers, then you are missing out on free rewards. These personalized deals offered directly through your Amex account can help you earn statement credits or bonus Membership Rewards points on purchases you are making in any case. However, to take advantage of these offers, you must claim them manually before making a qualifying purchase. Many of these offers expire very fast.

Here is a selection of the best Amex Offers currently available, categorized by type. This way, you can make sure to claim the ones that fit your needs before they expire.

How to Claim Your Amex Offers

To briefly recap how these deals work: Amex offers are not automatically applied to your card. You have to claim them yourself on your American Express account page. Once claimed and used for a qualifying purchase, the offer will automatically be posted to your account. This process is fairly easy and takes only about two minutes.

To claim your offers, log in to your American Express account, go to "Amex Offers & Benefits," choose the card you would like to browse, and go through your available offers. Hit the "+" on any of them you find useful and are going to use soon.

It should be noted that Amex offers usually provide the highest rewards on premium cards such as the Platinum, Business Platinum, Gold, and Business Gold. However, any of the U.S. issued Amex cards can claim them.
