Saks Fifth Avenue Gift Cards No Longer Work for Amex Platinum Credits?
Last year, the added a new benefit. Cardmembers can get up to $100 in credits per calendar year at Saks Fifth Avenue. That’s up to $50 in statement credits from January through June and up to $50 in statement credits from July through December. No minimum purchase required. You need to enroll for this benefit.
One way to easily take advantage of this Amex Platinum benefit is to buy physical gift cards in store or online. But a data point posted on r/churning today shows that the credit earned after a gift card purchase was clawed back. It’s just one DP for now. (Update: A few promising DPs were posted later on the same thread showing no other clawbacks).
