Amex Platinum Offers — June 17, 2026
Sonesta 3 days; U.S. Open officially confirmed; MGM/Groupon 20% stack tip new.
Wednesday, June 17. Tournament Day 1 at Shinnecock Hills starts tomorrow — and the official USOpen.com Amex benefits page now confirms card acceptance at on-site concessions, upgrading KC93:0001 from "unconfirmed" to "officially stated." Carnival is gone. Sonesta is 3 days away. Frequent Miler published a new MGM/Groupon stacking tip last night. Priority order below is sorted by expiry.

🚨 Lead urgency: Sonesta Hotels $60/$300 — 3 days (expires June 20)
$60 back on a $300+ stay. The offer expires Saturday — the Saturday of U.S. Open Tournament weekend — so this is a natural pairing if you're visiting any of Sonesta's US properties. 1
As of today's check, this offer is still sitting on FM page 2 (the G–Z section of Current Amex Offers) without bold escalation in FM Last Chance. 2 The June 14 edition of Last Chance is still the current one — FM typically updates on weekends, so the next edition may arrive Saturday or Sunday, possibly after this offer has already expired. Don't wait for the FM alert.
Booking must be direct — Sonesta.com, the Sonesta app, or 1-800-766-3782. Third-party bookings don't qualify, nor do shopsonesta.com purchases, amenities, or resort fees. International properties are excluded.

🏌️ U.S. Open KC93:0001 — official confirmation (expires June 21)
Status upgrade: "unconfirmed" → officially stated. The USGA's Amex Cardmember Benefits page now explicitly confirms that the KC93:0001 offer ($10 back on $100+ on-site) applies to "qualifying purchases of concessions and/or merchandise with on-site merchants at the 126th U.S. Open Championship at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club between 6/11/26 and 6/21/26." 3
The tournament begins tomorrow (Jun 18). Amex is an official on-site sponsor with a station at the Shinnecock Hills train stop, a cardholder lounge near hole 4, and exclusive merchandise.
One caveat that hasn't cleared: no community member has posted a confirmed Amex card swipe at Shinnecock Hills concessions during practice rounds (June 15–16). The official exclusions are extensive — USGAshop.com, parking, transportation, ticketing, hospitality/catering, gift cards, phone charging, USGA memberships, and donations are all out. 3 The $100 minimum needs to be hit at food/beverage concessions or merchandise. A round of drinks and a few hot dogs across a group gets there reasonably fast — NUCLR GOLF reported concession pricing of $12.95 for beer, $19 for footlong hot dogs, and $6.45 for bottled water during practice. 4
If you're attending today or through Sunday: enroll the offer in the Amex app before you go, then verify at the first concession stand that the card is accepted before counting on the credit.

🆕 New FM tip: MGM Resorts via Groupon — 20% off gift cards (Groupon Amex Offer expires July 26)
Frequent Miler published a new article on June 16 covering a stacking opportunity: the Groupon Amex Offer ($10 back on a $50 Groupon purchase, expires July 26, targeted) combined with $50 MGM Resorts gift cards sold at face value on Groupon nets a $40 effective cost — 20% off. 5
You can also layer in a shopping portal for additional cashback on the Groupon purchase. FM notes that if your household has multiple cards with the Groupon offer, you could buy up to four additional $50 cards after the first triggers the credit. 5
The caveat is real. FM points to a previous Krispy Kreme gift card situation on Groupon where cards arrived already redeemed. The recommendation: "it might be best to balance check it before buying more." 5 Buy one card first, verify the balance, then decide whether to stack further.
This is a Groupon offer, not a standalone MGM Amex Offer — it works only if you have the Groupon Amex Offer targeted to your account. Check the Amex app first.

Delta GC + Uber — 5 days (expires June 22)
Buy a $300+ Delta gift card, receive a free $25 Uber gift card. Still in FM's "Other Limited-Time Offers" (Travel), not bolded as of the June 14 Last Chance edition. 2 The Uber voucher is valid through December 31, 2026. Paying for flights with a gift card forfeits credit-card travel protections; Delta gift cards cannot cover award ticket taxes and fees. Delta cardholders with the +5 SkyMiles/$ Amex Offer on their account can stack for an additional 1,500 SkyMiles.

📅 Jun 30 cluster — 13 days (none bolded yet)
All seven June 30 offers remain in FM's "Other Limited-Time Offers" without bold escalation as of the June 14 Last Chance edition. 2 FM typically bolts the two-week warning around the 14-day mark — that passed yesterday. The next Last Chance edition (likely this weekend) may introduce bolding for some or all of this cluster. Enroll now before that wave.

⚡ Card benefit reminders
Saks $50 semi-annual credit — 13 days (ends June 30, final cycle)
The January–June 2026 Saks Fifth Avenue credit closes June 30. The benefit restructures July 1 — the current $50 bi-annual format ends, replaced by a single $100 annual credit. If the current $50 is unused, June 30 is the deadline.
Resy credit update — effective August 1
Starting August 1, US restaurants must carry an "eligible" badge in the Resy app for Platinum Resy credits (up to $400/year) to trigger. The June 13 and June 16 issues covered this in detail; no new official information has appeared in today's research window. No action needed before August 1 unless you want to audit which restaurants in your usual rotation already carry the badge.
What to do today
