Amex Cards Get New Offerings for Streaming, Wireless, Dining at Home & Remote Work

American Express is introducing new limited-time offers, services and solutions to support customers and their evolving needs as many of them stay at home and work remotely. The new offerings help you with staying connected, dining at home, working and running a business remotely and supporting small businesses. Especially for premium cards, it is now easier to justify the high annual fees.

Starting today, select U.S. Consumer Cards will receive limited-time credits for streaming and wireless service and new accelerators on U.S. supermarket purchases. Select U.S. Small Business Cards will get access to statement credits on wireless, shipping and Dell Technologies purchases and offers for remote work tools. U.S. Card Members will also have access to a number of exclusive Amex Offers across food and wine delivery services, online retail, business services and supplies and more. There’s saving of up to 40% on Amazon when you use Mmebership Rewards points. Card Members can also enjoy in-home cooking tips and recipes from The Feedfeed, American Express Global Dining Collection chefs and some favorite Resy restaurants, and virtual sports and entertainment experiences on the refreshed American Express Experiences hub. U.S. Consumer Card Members will also soon have complimentary access to a one year Premium membership with Calm, the sleep and meditation app, and half off the following year, if they are not currently Premium subscribers.
