Amex Adds New Tool to Better Track Bonus Spend

American Express has made a positive change to its interface online and in the app for credit card accounts. There is now a new tool that makes it easier to track bonus spend for your American Express credit cards. Depending on which cards you have, you can go into your account and check Rewards Summary. On the right hand side you should see a list of bonus categories showing what rate you earn and how much you have earned so far.

Here is an example from my American Express Platinum card:

And another from my American Express Blue Business Plus card:

A nice addition to help keep track of categories where there is a limit annually. The Blue Business Plus Credit Card from American Express for example earn 2x points on up to $50,000 in purchases every year. The Amex Gold Card earns 4x points at U.S. supermarkets up to $25,000 per year. Amex Business Gold Card earn 4x points on the first $150,000 in combined purchases from the 2 categories where your business spend the most.
