Update: This deal seems to have reached its maximum number of redemptions and isn’t showing up anymore.
American Express has released a brand new Amex Offer tonight that you will want to register for as soon as possible. Let’s take a look at the deal.
The Offer
Get a one-time $20 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend a minimum of $100+ in one or more transactions in-store at Staples or online at staples.com by 12/31/2015.
Terms
Valid in-store and online. If you order an item during the offer period but it is not sent until after 12/31/2015, it may not count towards determining whether the purchase qualifies for the offer. Not valid for e-gift card purchases. See merchant website for shipping policy. Some merchants may not ship to all areas. Valid at any participating location in the US. Not valid on purchases shipped outside of the US. Excludes Online catalog purchases, Quill, Smilemaker, Staples Business Advantage, Staples 4 Government, Staples Toner Services, Staples Technology Solutions, Staples Promotional Products, Staples Print Solutions, Copy and Printing Services, Staples Contract and Commercial, Staples App Center, Staples Industrial, Staples Book Rental, Staples Simplexity.
How to Load
As of the time of publishing, this offer is not available via Twitter and can only be found on the American Express website. I found it listed on all of my accounts, so it doesn’t appear to be targeted. With that said, similar deals in the past have reached their maximum very quickly so I suggest registering as soon as possible.
Analysis
This offer works for physical gift cards purchased either online or in-store. As you probably know, Staples sells a variety of Visa gift cards that can be loaded to Bluebird/Serve. You can of course also use this for 20% off of everything at Staples. In other words, this is a fantastic offer.
Conclusion
This has the potential to be a very profitable deal, especially if you have a lot of cards. I was personally able to link it to quite a few cards which means I should make a few bucks and generate some points as well. Hopefully you see this as soon as possible so you can register all of your cards!

[…] Hot Amex Offer – $20 off $100+ at Staples: Act Fast! […]
Not in my SPG, Premier Gold, Hilton, Blue Cash or Serve 🙁
It seems to have died some time in the middle of the night.
Not on any of our 34 cards…targeted
It wasn’t targeted, but died sometime around 6-7am Eastern as far as I can tell.
0/8 on me and my GF
7:00 am EST on Tuesday and none on any of our thirteen accounts. Tried the customary #AmexStaples with no luck. Either highly targeted or for those in the later time zones or night owls.
0 for 11 on our family cards. Bummer.
Thanks for the heads up, but appears to be targeted. Not on any of my 6 Amex cards. Hoping for a twitter hashtag later today!
Only had it on one of my 4 AMEX cards. Odd.
Don’t see Staples offer on AMEX Serve account. Can it be done by Amex Offers on Twitter to push the offer out to my Serve? Thanks.
Not on my Serve, either. But 5/5 on my other AMEX credit and charge cards!
Did you just hat tip yourself?
Yes, yes he did just hat tip himself. Out. Of. Control.
The information came through the other blog. Yes, I wrote it up there, but the hat tip deservedly goes to that blog. When the information comes from elsewhere I hat tip wherever I saw it.
