At first, I was a little slow to get excited. After all, so many programs seem to have some sort of catch, but as I read on, I learned that it was as simple as it seemed! In my account there are offers available specifically for us.
I simply explored the offers, clicked ‘save to my card’ and that was it! It’s like couponing for the time challenged, which aren’t we all? The offer I was most excited about was Lowe’s. Lowe’s is actually headquartered here in Mooresville and our household certainly isn’t shy about supporting them! We go several times each month whether it’s for gardening supplies, tools for one of David’s projects, or general home maintenance. When I saw the Amex Offer for Lowe’s I clicked it immediately and just like that, it was added to my card.
The offer is that when we spend $50 at Lowe’s and use our card to pay, we will automatically get $10 credited back to our card. So it’s saving 20% without doing a darn thing differently than we normally do! To say I’m psyched is an understatement. Plus, I love that the virtual coupon is loaded directly onto my card so I don’t need to print anything out or even remember I have it. I can use my American Express account ID to log in on www.amexoffers.com and get offers right in my account dashboard – all I have to do is click on ‘Save’ to add the offer to my Card. Or I can easily and securely connect my Amex Card to social networks like Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter and TripAdvisor to add offers to my Card right in those places. Then, I just have to spend with my Card like I normally would and see the savings add up as statements on my bill. Pretty cool, right? Amex actually has over $15 million in savings available for card members right now, so don’t miss out on getting these no-strings-attached savings! Now, a little something extra just for you- a chance to win a $100.00 AmericanExpress® GiftCard! Simply leave a comment answering what you like BEST about Amex Offers and you are entered to win!

I’m just like you, I would love to be better at couponing but hate the time and organizing it takes and having to haul around little pieces of paper that I ultimately forget to use before they expire. I love the idea of downl
Nicole says
We so the same with our Amex as I too had no idea about this. I’m logging on now to add offers. I LOVE that I do t have to remember to cut and brig a coupon, that sounds like something I can handle! Ha! 🙂
Jessica says
I love the variety of offers that they have! It covers pretty much anyone who is looking to save! 🙂
Lisa Brown says
I appreciate the offers because they save you money, if it is product you use, like and/or need and can take advantage of it. They have so many offers, you are bound to find something you like. Convenient as well.

Carolyn says
I am a couponer (definitely not extreme) and I like how easy it it to use the Amex offers. I used them over Christmas mostly for Kohl’s and Best Buy. I think I saved $75 just at those two stores.
Wendy says
I love the AMEX membership benefits, leaving for vacation next week that I booked with my delta points. I like being able to save money with a simple click of a button instead of clipping something. I don’t feel like I lose if I don’t use either.
Ashley N. says
I notice when I look at coupons, I usually wind up buying things I normally wouldn’t.. just because I have a coupon! The Amex Offers seem SO convenient! Like you, I am a fan of not having to print and remember I have the coupon.
Jaclyn @ Bumpsweat says
I’m as much of a coupon failure, if not more, as you are. But this seems pretty doable. Thanks for potentially saving me a bunch of $$ 🙂
Kate @ Indulgent Wellness says
Not having to remember the coupon is great! On more than one occasion I’ve remembered to bring the coupon only to forget to USE it!!
Tori says
I love that its all virtual too so you don’t have to worry about carrying them around/losing them/forgetting them, etc!
Jane says
My dad always uses AMEX points for our flights. As a college grad (in 2 weeks) I’m beginning to build credit and have started using my own AMEX card!
Kayla says
I love couponing and am definitely a little envious of the people who figure out how to get all those free products although I do agree who really needs 300 bottles of ketchup or mustard? The coolest thing about the new rewards is that you don’t really have to do anything to save money! I love good deals!
Jessica says
I love how personalized Amex Offers seems to be… it gives you a lot of freedom to best choose where/how you’ll save money. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

Laurie Tomlinson (@LaurieTomlinson) says
Oh man! I love this feature from AmEx! Makes things so easy for customers to save money at places they normally shop. It’s like a Groupon tailored specifically for you!
Stephanie Crooks says
I too am not a coupon-er no matter how hard I try! I don’t have AMEX, but this is definitely an incentive to switch!
Betsy says
I agree, the rewards are amazing, especially when shopping at places like Lowe’s where it’s impossible not to break the bank!
Leah says
Money back is always a huge perk!
Ali says
I’m very much like you too – the couponing looks interesting and I feel like I should be doing it, but I’m horrible at it. I forget them or they expire, etc. I also think that most of the items that have coupons, we don’t really buy. There of course are exceptions, but a lot of it is processed foods. Anyways, the AMEX program is awesome!!
Layne says
What I like most about our AMEX offers is it’s EASY! Nothing to clip or remember to do while you’re out shopping. SO helpful in todays busy world!!
Layne says
Nancy @ LivingPartofLife.com says
I had never heard of this and we have AmEx too! I definitely love saving on things I already purchase – like at BP!
Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
I have an Amex card and this just reminded me to add some offers to my card! I’m sure Alex and I will use the Lowe’s offer !!
Alison W says
Like you, I want to be a couponer, but I don’t have the time or energy to do so… and I don’t need 231 bottles of mustard either 🙂 I love the virtual couponing!
Melany says
Saving money on something I’d purchase anyway? Sign me up!
Heidi says
Love this! It’s like couponing without thinking (which is perfect for a sleep-deprived mom with an almost 2 month old…) It’s nice that it’s a “one and done” kind of deal. You don’t have to spend hours every week clipping coupons for specific items that you don’t even want or need!
Heather G says
This is a great idea!! My bank does the same sort of thing with my debit card.
Nancy says
I love that discounts can be uploaded to the card quickly online (no printing out coupons)! I do the same thing with my CVS coupons that come via email and it’s so convenient.
Haley says
I love how mindless the saving is. No need to bring lots of paper coupons to the store.
Cassie F. says
I love how quick and easy it is to get discounts!
Maria says
I love reading about how others manage their personal finances. We do the same as you – put all of our expenses on our credit cards (we both have a Chase Freedom) and pay it off each month. I probably make about $300-400 in cashback each year just from using my credit card.
Like you, I wish I were a couponer, but I don’t have the time or patience. But I do use Ebates for all of my online purchases and since I started using them, I have received over $50 in less than a year.
Sharon says
This is awesome, i had no idea this even existed!
Amy says
I’m totally with you on the coupons-I really want to use them, but I really like specific things-like, I’m always going to buy the same kind of soap, whether or not I have a coupon-I’m not going to buy a different kind just because of the coupon! I love that the Amex card has discounts on things I would buy anyway!
Kim says
I love how you can add to the card so you don’t forget. Great idea! I love saving money, who doesn’t?!
Sarah S says
Thank you for this! We love our AMEX card and now I have a reason to love it even more!
Abby says
I love that you can save so many different types of offers without knowing exactly what you are going for!
kathryn says
i use amex offers and love the simplicity of it all! i always save the itunes and zappos offers, because i shop there all the time! it’s the best that you don’t need to remember the coupon when you shop – i can’t cut coupons for the grocery because i get there and the coupons are still on the fridge on a magnet clip…FAIL!
Katie says
This is a great deal!!

Madeline says
I really love the convenience and variety that Amex offers. And that you save $$$!!!!
sarah h says
I try my best to coupon too! It’s exhilarating to save 30% on a grocery store trip, but it definitely requires some extra time and planning and I’m not good enough to track the sales and match them up with my coupons. Once in a blue moon I hit things right though! Great info about the american express site too… I wasn’t aware!
Jen says
I love that there are no paper coupons to clip (and probably lose!)
Ashley D says
I love saving money too, but I am a couponer. Not extreme, but I love to save on things I am already going to purchase. I’m not sure if you ever shop at Target, but their Cartwheel app has great savings, and you can use a manufacturer’s coupon, Target coupon, and the Cartwheel savings all together.

We also use our Amex for every purchase, paying it off every month so we can earn sky miles! Very important when we live on the other side of the country from our loved ones! Just last month, they caught a fraud attempt within hours and shut it down, saving me a lot of money and frustration. I love Amex!

Bonnie says
I have a few credit cards but Amex was my first one years ago! Like you we have always pooled our money (been married over 30 yrs!!) and pay every card off every month! My bank of America card has something similar but usually for stuff I don’t really use… I’m definitely checking out my Amex offers right now !!! Nothing to clip or forget to use…. I like that!!
Lia says
I love using our Amex credits around Christmas time to get family presents. It is very convenient!
