Credit cards that offer cash back rewards have become the norm these days. Some cash back rewards cards, like the Credit One Bank American Express® Card, reward you with cash back rewards via a statement credit on every purchase you make with the card. Other credit cards, such as the Credit One Bank Platinum Plus Visa, compensate you with cash back rewards, awarded in the form of a statement credit, when you use the card for eligible purchases like gas, groceries, and telecommunication charges, such as your cell phone bill.
But did you know the percentage of cash back rewards your credit card earns you may not be the only rewards you’re entitled to? That’s right. Certain credit cards also offer supplemental programs that help you earn even more cash back rewards. What’s more, many of these programs are free to card members and considered an added benefit of your credit card!
Let’s take a closer look at Amex Offers for Credit One Bank American Express card members.
Amex Offers is a program that saves you money at the brands you love and is available to Credit One Bank American Express card members. This free program by American Express provides additional cash back rewards—awarded in the form of a statement credit—on shopping, dining, travel, and more. So, with Amex Offers, you can turn everyday purchases into even more everyday rewards.
To take advantage of the additional cash back rewards this program offers, you must first add the offers that interest you to your Credit One Bank American Express Card prior to making a purchase. Once an offer is added, simply use the card to purchase the eligible goods or services from the merchant and follow any additional information posted on the offer page to receive additional cash back rewards.
Adding offers from participating Amex Offers merchants is a simple process, and there’s no limit on how many offers you can add to your card. To add an offer to your Credit One Bank American Express Card:
NOTE: Once you’ve added your name, American Express Card number, and email address for the first offer, this information will auto-populate for each successive offer you add within 10 minutes of adding your first offer.
That’s it. The offers you select will then be linked to your Credit One Bank American Express Card.
