Summer is by far my favorite season. Long, leisurely days, paper white butterflies dancing around our lavender, long evenings where the sun doesn’t want to set and instead glows golden around tables with friends as we talk, eat, sip and all the children play in the pool, dipping in and out. To this day, even as a mom, my heart clenches when I see ‘Back to School’ commercials–I am not even going back to school. Yet my daughter is excited, she is starting a new school this year, and what we see as a new chapter in her life.
Our family is on a budget, as many families are. As our daughter makes the big transition from elementary school to middle school, we have a shopping list for school that is different than times in the past, more specific and defined, it seems to us. Andrew and I always try to get creative with our family and saving money, it allows us to do more when we get smart about it, which is why I wanted to share this about American Express. Something American Express does already allow for us to save money, seamlessly. As we prepare our daughter for school, attend orientations and meetings, and find the right supplies, we discovered Amex Offers – a way to save at our favorite stores without needing coupons or codes.
For instance, here is one real example: If you spend $75 at Whole Foods with your Amex, you get $10 instantly.
They find offers that fit you based on where you have shopped, so it’s kind of “tailored to you,” in a way even based on where you are near as you are out and about, and then you save money on your next Card Member statement. Money you can use for seasonal needs, like Back to School items.
So, you can find all the offers online to see what there is before you shop. Log into the Amex Offers site with your account ID and click “Amex Offers For You” to browse available offers. Click ‘Save Offer’ to save it to your account. No clipping coupons or remembering codes, it’s just easy. Plus, there are tons of offers available to suit whatever you already like. Actually, card members have saved over $90 million with Amex Offers.
Leave me a comment with your favorite Amex Offer and you will be entered to win a $100 American Express Gift Card!

Saving money at Whole Foods? Sign me up! 😉
Seriously, sounds great though. I am terrible – we have two credit cards and neither of them come with any rewards. I need to get moving on changing that!
Use a cash only envelope, Dave Ramsey style and is you HAVE to use a cc, this one CAN hook you up! 😉
I like the offer for $20 back when you spend $40 at Amazon.
The Dollar Tree offer (spend $101, get $20 back) is fantastic! I could buy a lot of school supplies.

I think my favorite offer is the whole foods one, or JCPenney
My favorite AMEX offer is the Best Buy one I need a new computer soon.
Okay holy moly. The Amazon one for sure!! But these are some great options overall! We are all about exploiting rewards for our benefit 🙂
RIGHT!? Us too 🙂
I chose the AMEX TRAVEL — spend $250 and get $50 back — yes please!
We do use Amex as our main cc (with another as a backup). We love the cash back we get each year and that it is connected to Costco, since we shop there a lot. Between Costco rewards and Amex, we get about $800-1000 back each year. And yes, the secret to cc’s i think is to pay them off in full each month.
The Amazon deal is AMAZING! I would use it for that for sure!

I logged into my Amex offers and they weren’t good at all! I didn’t have the Amazon or Whole Foods offer. It must only be for certain cardholders- Boo!
The amazon offer is wonderfully addictive. Seriously.

Whole Foods by far!
We generally only use our AmEx card for gas, but I might just need to take a trip to Whole Foods and take advantage – I wonder if I can combine it with a gift card I have? Hmmmmmm. Fun giveaway – crossing fingers 😉
Amazon.com – Get $20 back when you spend $40.

Cheesecake Factory: spend $75, get $10 back
This is crazy. I have been reading your blog for a long time, one of your posts was recommended reading by a friend. And…even though I check in regularly for a dose of the insightful, thoughtful ideas you speak from the heart…I have never commented until now. While I have an AmEx and never was aware of this feature and plan to now utilize (thanks to your post), while I am not doing it just for the chance at a gift card (though, like most of us, I could always us the $) I am commenting because I hope AmEx see’s their ad on your blog works, hope you’re getting some funds for your current adoption for this. Wishing you all the best, please keep posting. ;0)
I love the Lowe’s offer $50 off $200 spent — altho I found it late — already purchased new lights for our deck. But I am going to keep looking for more!
